I'm third.

Could we set open-paren-in-column-0-is-defun-start to t for c mode?
This gives the old behavior, which, though incorrect in corner cases,
is at least usable.  Individual users can set it back to nil if
slow-but-correct fontification is desired (and it's irrelevant for
anyone but Emacs hackers anyway).

As for RMS's suggestion of writing a beginning-of-defun-function, I
don't see any dramatic optimizations that we could employ to make that
a solution for this (apart from, well, assuming that open parens in
column zero are defun starts :-).
