This may be another bug :-).  cdefs.h gives a null __P() for all non-ANSI
compilers although `gcc -traditional' supports prototypes.

Yes, but they are still frequent.  My header checker reports about 36
headers that compile with `gcc -traditional -Dconst= -Dvolatile=' but
not with `gcc -traditional'.  <time.h> is the most annoying of these
because it is included by many other headers, so it is worth fixing.
