FWIW, I still believe this was a Clang bug.  You could count on the
maintainers to do this in the case of glibc, but what if Microsoft does
the same?

GCC has a fixincludes tool that works around incompatibilities or
namespace clashes between system headers and the compiler.  Does Clang
have anything like that?  If so, why did the bug have to be fixed in glibc?
