--- Comment #3 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> ---
The "cleverness" is just wrong and should be removed. It makes it impossible to
use function pointers to setrlimit since they have the wrong type.
(Technically, gcc may let you get by with just a warning when the function
pointer type mismatches, but it's invalid C and should be an error.)
