Can the ABIs be unifed?
line up struct stat, or make thin wrappers?
line up errno.h?
lineup lseek/fseek flags? (probably already the case)
use the larger of the two jmpbuf sizes?
keep FILE* opaque?
Maybe line up just its size, if stdin/out/err are defined to be
elements in an array.
either line up ctype's data, or use real function calls?
etc.?
Under a -slightly-slower-but-more-compatible switch?
ABI multiplicity bugs me..
I realize that it might be too late, at least without a "thin translation
layer",
and even then. Reasonable for like stat, but not really for errno.h, for
example.
