Uh, just to be pedantic, _why_ are we still carrying this baggage?  Is
there an actual, genuine need to retain K&R compatibility going forward
forever?  I'd have thought at some point Solaris could just say "K&R no
longer supported", and rip out the K&R headers, along with the busted
/usr/ucbinclude and (most especially!) /usr/ucb/cc.

/usr/ucb/cc is already supposed to be on it's way out (the ARC case to
remove was approved last year).

Are there real customers who still insist on K&R?

The X11 headers dropped K&R support a while ago, and I don't remember any
complaints.
