No, libio is weird for quite a different reason; basically, to implement
sync_with_stdio and friends in the C++ iostreams library, the stdio and
iostreams have to be tied together. So the one is implmented in terms of
the other --- but this means encoding information about the mangled
names of some iostreams members into libio. So it is sensitive to
details of the mangler.

In GCC-3.0 the mangler is standardized (along with (much of) the rest of
the ABI), so this problem should get less severe.
