Due to some increased strictures, there needs to be explicit including of various files. The original debian bug shows more detail. 

Have created adapted patch and ebuild vs 2.0.3 

Reproducible: Always

Just wondering why the patch adds sometimes stdio.h and sometimes cstdio. I thought that it should always be cstdio in cpp-files?

when using the .h versions, their functions are considered to be in the global namespace and don't need to be explicitly prefixed with std::.  it sometimes doesn't matter and sometimes does.
