I agree with your remark. Nevertheless, it is possible to avoid an old
C-code rewriting. It is needed to place into 'stdio.h' 2 definitions,
old:
   extern FILE *fdevopen(int (*__put)(char), int (*__get)(void), int __opts);
and new:
   extern FILE * new_fdevopen (int (*__put)(char, FILE*), int (*__get)(FILE*), 
int __opts);
And it is needed to define (at library build time) a second entry to the
only one new 'fdevopen'.

Dmitry.
