I agree that defining STREAM_MAX as _POSIX_STREAM_MAX is a bug, and
that you should file a bug with `glibcbug'.
The _POSIX_*_MAX defines are (somewhat confusingly) actually minimums
that a system has to provide in order to be POSIX compliant. You are
always guaranteed that foo_MAX >= _POSIX_foo_MAX on a POSIX system.
