When building an updated version of ports/security/polarssl, I hit the
following failure:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
And indeed, stdio.h declares stdout as follows:
#define stdin (&__sF[0])
#define stdout (&__sF[1])
#define stderr (&__sF[2])
POSIX says pretty much the same as the C standard:
The <stdio.h> header shall define the following macros which shall
expand to expressions of type "pointer to FILE" that point to the FILE
objects associated, respectively, with the standard error, input, and
output streams:
So maybe libc should expose stdin/out/err as individual, modifiable
pointers? This is what FreeBSD seems to do.
