Yes, you're right...

Looking at repo history it seems that the _impure_ptr solution was 
older, then - 11 years ago - the one using _REENT was added, but the old 
variant remained unchanged for years.

It seems to me that the "right" solution for _REENT_ONLY build would be 
to undefine stdin/stdout/stderr - delete the offending lines using 
_impure_ptr...

If that solution is not feasible then your approach is probably the best 
one.

BTW - I've CCed the list, you probably forgot about that.
