I've seen the development sources to the GNU C library.  It is ANSI
(and POSIX) conformant, but uses some clever ifdefs to generate
prototypes on __STDC__ and declarations on traditional C compilers.  I
haven't tried using it with C++.  Roland McGrath is taking great pains
to make it portable, though.

The GNU kernel will probably be based on Mach, for whatever that's worth.
