  It is possible that the bits of work we've been doing on ANSI C compatibility
  have removed the need for this, but I wouldn't be prepared to swear to that
  without trying it.

I suspect it depends on your gcc installation.  At MIT Project Athena,
gcc's stdio.h file has function prototypes which conflict with
libstdio/rdwr.c, causing compilation to fail unless -traditional is
used.
