__restrict__ vs __restrict ?

I've been enabling a LOT of gcc warnings recently
in the process of linting some code I'm writing.
In the process, I stumbled across the following
curiosity:
> cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
> gcc -std=c99 -ansi test.c
In file included from test.c:1:
/usr/include/stdio.h:220: conflicting types for `restrict'
/usr/include/stdio.h:220: previous declaration of `restrict'
/usr/include/stdio.h:221: conflicting types for `restrict'
/usr/include/stdio.h:221: previous declaration of `restrict'
/usr/include/stdio.h:222: redefinition of `restrict'
/usr/include/stdio.h:222: `restrict' previously declared here
/usr/include/stdio.h:223: conflicting types for `restrict'
[ .... many similar lines omitted .... ]
If I change all "__restrict" in stdio.h to "__restrict__",
these warnings disappear.
Question: Does anyone know the difference between
__restrict and __restrict__? Should we be using
the latter in our system headers?
