I agree that ANSI compliance is not a gratuitous feature.  On the
other hand, we are *so* far from being compliant, it makes little
difference whether we fix namespace problems now or later.

Note that even now strerror() is not compliant, since it (indirectly
through __strerror()) references sys_nerr and sys_errlst[] (which are
in the user's namespace).

Now that the linker supports weak symbols, we'll be able to start
addressing some of these issues.
