Nearly all of glibc's headers go out of their way to be usable in a strict C
environment; whether or not you think it makes sense for any particular header
to _be used_ in a strict C environment, consistency dictates that they should
all be _usable_.

Also, the necessary fixes are straightforward and, in general, things that
should be done anyway (don't use legacy unsigned integer typedefs; do use
__foo_t; include all headers necessary for the header to be usable in
isolation).
