Well, what can I say. Thanks.

I doubt that it's the best but it seems to be useable.

Remove anything that has something to do with stdio. Look through the new
stdio.h for all the functions that are affected. In the patches posted I have
provided new exit.c and atexit.c files. These are replacements for the current
versions of these files.

NOTE: _exit() must be split from exit(). So if you have _exit() and exit() in
the one file (presumably you have it in a file named exit.c) split it into
_exit.c and exit.c. _exit.c remains and exit.c gets clobbered by the one
provided in stdio.
