No, it wouldn't. Otherwise, all C++ with #include <stdio.h> would have
to choke, already.  Go figure: the very construct I describe braces
*all* of our <stdio.h>, except for the multiple inclusion
guard. Quoting the DJGPP 2.something version I happen to have easily
available:

#ifndef __dj_include_stdio_h_
#define __dj_include_stdio_h_

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
