I don't think that can be true with newlib. I'm sure that there are
some embedded systems which don't define every function that is declared
in the header. For example, a real quick check seems to indicate that
the clock() function isn't provided everywhere.
Peppering the headers with a plethora of system ifdefs to deal with this
issue seems like a really bad idea to me. Breaking up the headers or
adding a OS-specific "capability.h", or something similar, which defines
__HAVE_CLOCK would probably be the best way to deal with this. Assuming
that this was a major issue -- which I don't think it is.
