 ...and actually the header cleanup is quite valuable because it
 disentangles the kernel and libc headers and institutes a clear
 interface.
 
 Anyway, adding sys/cdefs.h and sys/featuretest.h is harmless (and
 standard practice is to include sys/cdefs.h in every header that needs
 it) and the whole point of sys/ansi.h is that it's safe to include, so
 I think I'll go ahead and apply the patch.
