Never mind this, it was my fault for having experimental stuff hanging
around in /usr/include/stdio.h.  A full installworld fixed it.

This also doesn't seem to be the case, AFAICT from the buildworld log,
so for now I guess these have to stay.  I'd like to find a way so
they're not needed though, so I'll try to learn more about the build
