It has, but it's the same as on 5.4

All declarations are wrapped by __BEGIN_DECLS/__END_DECLS which will
expand to extern "C" {  } in case of C++ or to nothing in case of C

I also have a 5.3 box available, I can test the build there during the
weekend.
I assume it should be the same issue on 5.3 and 5.4.
