I'd rather have one include the other (e.g., xstrtoul.c and xstrtolc),
or perhaps have both include a template source file.  That way, we
don't need to generate a source file.  Generated source files tend to
be harder for me to follow than ordinary ones.

Hmm, it's already on my list of things to do, to fix unlocked-io to
not be generated.  Perhaps I should add stat.c and lstat.c to my list
too?
