C++ c-headers=c (and c_compatability headers) vs c-headers=c-std

[Danny Smith]

I have begun to modify mingw32 C-runtime headers so that they could be
used with the --enable-cheaders=c plus c-compatability headers model 
for GCC 3.3 I was intending to use the newlib headers as a model.

However, looking at the newlib libc headers, I think I misunderstand something.

Which of these interpretations is correct for this model.

When a C-forwarding header, such as cstdio, is included:

1) _All_ typedefs and prototypes declared in eg stdio.h are declared in
namespace std (and not in global) in the C-runtime header.

2) _Only_ those [ISO C90] names that are explicitly listed for the headers
in ISO/IEC 1482 are declared in std.  Non-ISO names go into global namespace.  

Looking at the newlib headers, it seems that something very close to 
(1)is being implemented there.  However (2) is more consistent with
the namespace  --enable-cheaders=c-std model  and is how I have been
modifying mingw headers.

What am I missing?
