+       * minmax.h (MIN, MAX) [__STDC__ && defined __GNUC__ && __GNUC__ >= 2]:
+       Omit the special code that used __typeof__, since we worry that
+       it could be more trouble than it's worth.  See:
+       http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2003-01/msg00090.html
+       http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2003-01/msg00095.html
+
+       * free.c: New file.

+       * error.c (error_tail): Move some declarations
+       into inner scope where the local variables are used.

+
+       * stpncpy.h (gnu_stpncpy): New declaration.
+       (stpncpy): Define as alias for gnu_stpncpy.
+       * stpncpy.c [!_LIBC]: Define gnu_stpncpy, not stpncpy.

        * error.c (SIZE_MAX) [!defined SIZE_MAX]: Define.
        (error_tail): Do not loop, reallocating temporary buffer, since
-       the original size is big enough.  This avoids one potential size
-       overflow calculation.  Check for size overflow when calculating
-       temporary buffer size.  Free temporary buffer when done, if
-       it was allocated with malloc; this closes a memory leak.
+       the output cannot contain more wide characters than the input
+       contains bytes, the size must be big enough already.  This avoids
+       one potential size overflow calculation.  Check for size overflow
+       when calculating temporary buffer size.  Free temporary buffer
+       when done, if it was allocated with malloc; this plugs a memory
+       leak.  Remove casts from void * to pointers, that are no longer
+       needed now that we're assuming C89 or better.
