GCC maintainers may have a point there, even if they can't express it politely.
It is possible that e.g. <stdarg.h> contains GCCisms which allow generating
more efficient code, uses builtins, etc. On systems where GCC isn't primary
compiler, this could be a problem. On DJGPP we just already have GCC-tailored
headers, that's it.
