And you should reread the report if you think that was the bug I
reported.   The warning is not the issue.  The *bug* is that glibc uses
a GNU semantics that is incompatible with C99 semantics.

Frankly, I don't see an easy way to fix this bug, since old programs
probably depend on the GNU behaviour.

Don't close it, the bug is still valid, as demonstrated.
