You can't just glue ANSI header files onto an existing implementation, because a few of the things that must be defined in the header files require some cooperation from the "raw" C compiler. For example, there is no portable way to define the "offsetof()" macro, so you can't write it without knowing how the compiler works--and it might even have to be a compiler built-in, i.e. #define offsetof(x,y) __offsetof(x,y) If you're just interested in seeing some existing practice, you can FTP the GNU C library (prep.ai.mit.edu), or the latest NET2 BSD sources (ftp.uu.net). (There are, no doubt, places in Europe to ftp both of these, but I don't know them offhand.)
