According to rfg@lupine.ncd.com (Ron Guilmette):

I would also like to know whether I can include <stdlib.h> with
impunity or if 'extern "C"' is supposed to be required. I made a
local change to our G++ compiler which assumes that all files in
/usr/include are 'extern "C"', so that I can do a simple #include
<stdlib.h> from C and C++ programs. I would like to know whether a
C++ must, or even may, legally allow such usage.
I also encourage any X3J16 members to speak up on the current status
of the header file and library issues.
