No, system headers should be sticklers to the standard to remain
friendly to architectures BSD won't run on but the headers might
be useful for.

I can imagine non-byte addressable floating point DSPs with
sizeof(char) == sizeof(double).

I won't complain about the headers in a machine subdirectory.
