The most funny tidbit is

extern int select();

which totally breaks compilation in a C++ compiler even if you wrap
everything into extern "C" block.

Regardless of that, the declarations in the system headers may have
additional attributes set that may or may not cause conflicts with
the redeclarations down the road so libbg-dev should not redeclare
them.

This looks like it was never forwarded to upstream. Will do so to get their opinions on the issue.
