That person needs to learn from history. We have actually *already been
through* the "it does not compile" moment in the daemontools world. It was the
well-known errno problem; "plain C" that was not, in fact, standard-conformant
C. It was patched fairly rapidly, years ago. Moreover there are plenty of
people who have, severally and independently, brought the Bernstein libraries up
to date with respect to C1999 and C2011, including Felix von Leitner, Laurent
Bercot, and ... well ... me.
