Everything in an include/ header other than the include of the 
corresponding public header needs to be inside "#ifndef _ISOMAC".

The purpose is to cause the include/ header wrappers to define only what 
the installed headers would define, not anything internal to glibc.  This 
is used by most tests (all except those in tests-internal), including the 
header conformance ones.
