But it's not a test failure in a release either (and the point of filing a
bug when fixing it is for users of releases to be able to find fixed bugs
when searching Bugzilla; anyone using git master should be following
libc-alpha). It's build warnings (the functions get the right types
anyway, being built-in). The use of -Werror=implicit-function-declaration
postdates the last release.
