That's why I asked for the preprocessor output... As listed above, 
NetBSD uses a constant array for stdin, stdout. When I search the 
preprocessor output on a debian linux (gcc 3.3.5), I get an

extern struct _IO_FILE *stdin;
extern struct _IO_FILE *stdout;
extern struct _IO_FILE *stderr;

which looks not necessarily constant for gcc. So it looks like you 
are stumbling over libc stdio implementation details here.
