1.  If you're asking about the ANSI C header stdlib.h, it does not intrude
on the application's namespace, not even names like min and max.

2.  If you're asking about the draft ANSI C++ standard (for which you
cross-posted your question), you'll have to hope for an answer from
someone else.

3.  If you're asking about a certain nameless compiler, then maybe:
(a)  You might have invoked it in a non-conforming mode, and/or your program
might have done something to request implementation extensions, and in either
case the standard becomes irrelevant.  Please note that non-conforming modes
are often defaults, and often you have to use options for conforming modes; or
(b)  The vendor might not have asserted conformance in the first place; or
(c)  If you did everything as directed to invoke in a conforming mode, then
you should demand a refund from the vendor.  [Personal opinion only.]

If this were the company's opinion, I wouldn't be allowed to post it.
