We are talking about _doprnt and no other function.  I do not know were the
_doprnt version of libiberty has been used at the same time than the one
provided by DJGPP's libc.  Thus I do not know if they have ever worked together.

But the point is something completely different.  They have copied-and-pasted
the _doprnt version of libiberty into bfd.c and adjusted it for their particular
purposes inside the bfd library.  They are not even using the original function
from libiberty.  But bfd.c also includes stdio.h and now we hace a contradiction
between the stdio.h declaration of _doprnt and the special implementation of
_doprnt itself used inside bfd.c.  The arguments of DJGPP's _doprnt version
simply  does not match the arguments of the _doprnt version inserted into bfd.c
thus it is not possible to compile the bfd library using DJGPP.

IMHO it is easier to fix stdio.h than start endless discussion with the binutils
maintainers.  I do not think that the DJGPP user group is still so large that
some one will be hurd if we change _doprnt by __doprnt or something similar.
