The _REENT_SMALL platforms don't have space for the std FILEs allocated 
at start-up.  They have fake files
(first part of a real FILE structure which is smaller) and these fake 
files have the _flags and buffer fields enough to cause a function call 
to occur if using a macro like getc() or putc().  They will not have a 
_flags2 field.  The function call ends up resolving the fake std streams 
via the CHECK_INIT macro.

Anyway, my comment was unnecessary.  To get to the __srefill_r or 
__sfvwrite_r functions, the std streams have  to already be resolved at 
that point which means they will have a full FILE structure and the 
_flags2 field will exist for them at that point.
