In general terms, the RTEMS community has been trying to fix some of the
OS level guards but on no specific timetable. We had Google Code In students
help add the restrict keyword which is C99. Personally, I think adding the
C99 and C++11 guards is important.

My rule has been that if I fix a file for something, it has to be fixed
for all
of that pattern.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a master tracking sheet of what files
have had what reviews/updates done yet.

Fix it. :)

Not from the RTEMS side.

This is an unfortunately long list of some of the things I found missing
a couple of years ago when I compared RTEMS+newlib to the Open
Group FACE General Purpose POSIX Profile. These may be POSIX or
C99, I didn't investigate that:

cabsl cacoshl cacosl cargl casinhl casinl catanhl catanl ccoshl ccosl
  cexpl cimagl clogl conjl cpowl cprojl creall csinhl csinl csqrtl
  ctanhl ctanl log2l logbl

   feupdateenv
imaxabs imaxdiv
strtoimax strtoumax
wcstoimax wcstoumax

No idea what to do about those.
