At this point a minimal fix is prefered - in principle the file
should be a valid source to any C++ 11 capable host compiler, not
just GCC.  The maintainer is on leave but we do want the build to
be fixed.  Now, since the file already includes csingal/cstring and 
cstdarg I'd say using the C++ wrapper to C includes and qualifying
the calls would be consistent with existing use (thus not including
stdlib.h but cstdlib).
