| I see.  So what we have in newlib is how it's defined on Linux.

fopencookie matches Linux.  Linux does not have funopen.  I guess the
reason funopen disagrees with BSD is that BSD took a different path to
64-bit I/O than newlib years ago; I'm not sure that I broke things any
worse than they already were when I worked on making funopen reliable (it
was already declared before my patches).

| Howver, shouldn't autogen have the same problem on Linux then?

I guess the problem here is that autogen assumed a header that newlib
doesn't provide - it would be relatively easy to add a stub <libio.h> to
cygwin (or even newlib).

Speaking of newlib stdio functions, shouldn't we go ahead and export
fopen_memstream and fmemopen, as those will be required by POSIX 200x (and
have a more standardized interface than either funopen or fopencookie)?
