IMHO this would violate POLA.
If the functions are called like standard, they should complay to the standard.

The advantage would be (thats how I got to this issue at all) that
you don't get compiling errors when including <stdio.h> too.
(I had to do this to get the definition of FILE for the work
on upgrading sys/boot/ficl to ficl4)

It seems that putchar is not implemented in libstand.
Do you know where?
