Is it possible to explain, without citing too large portions of the
headers, why would a missing prototype fail compilation even if the
application only includes the header?  I'm afraid I don't understand
that, especially since libstdc++ headers don't cause such failures.

That's possible, if no other reasonable solution exists.
