I don't know what -ansi will do to C++ programs, since there's no ANSI 
C++ standard yet.  Are you sure that switch is documented in the context 
of C++ programs?

That is a wrong inference.  These functions are prototyped on stdlib.h, 
and are defined by ANSI C standard.  Did you include <stdlib.h> in your 
sources?
