Summary: stdlib.h incorrect when gcc uses -ansi switch

Initial Comment:
The following very simple program fails to compile with the -ansi switch
 
test.c:
-----------------------------------------
#include <stdlib.h>
-----------------------------------------
 
# gcc -ansi test.c
In file included from test.c:1:
c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.5/../../../../include/stdlib.h:317: error: s
yntax error before "double"
 
 
I'm using gcc 3.4.5 on a msys shell.
 
# gcc -v

Message:
So the problem is the site update for a newer mingw.ini.  Of course the
developer uploading the files must also update the mingw.ini file.  I'll
make sure a process is in place to update the mingw.ini file today.

Sorry for the duplicate bug report.

I actually assumed I was at the latest mingw runtime.  As I had only
earlier that day installed mingw using the automatic installer, so I
assumed incorrectly that it would get the latest version of the runtime,
hence the bug report.

Message:
As Earnie says, you should update mingwrt.

This is *at least* the third duplicate report of this bug; it was fixed
*six months* ago!  As of mingwrt-3.15.2, this bug is no longer an issue.

Message:
And since the Cygwin MinGW runtime and the MinGW runtime are one in the
same you might try updating your mingwrt version.

Message:
If you change the inline keyword to __inline on line 317 then this file
compiles.  This is how stdlib.h is defined in the cygwin mingw package.
