Backtrace is not stdc :)

I'm sorry to interject when I'm not very involved, but libraries
implementing the C standard library should not be too different from
each other. Maybe some miss some features, but the things they have,
should be pretty much the same.

I think core.stdc should publicly import the local compiler's stdc. Any
incompatibilities among different libraries should be handled by the
users of core.stdc, not core.stdc itself, which is supposed to be just
a thin layer to get what the current C environment have. People should
be using std stuff, not core.stdc, most of the time, specially if they
intend to write portable code.
