Yes, but unlocked-io.h does include stdio.h, as of
gnulib/lib/unlocked-io.h revision 1.3 (dated 2003-10-08).
Are you using the current gnulib version of unlocked-io.h?
(It's dated 2004-01-16.)

I suppose it's possible that your compiler rejects this sort of thing:

   // This is what unlocked-io.h does:
   #include <stdio.h>
   #undef getchar
   #define getchar() getchar_unlocked ()

   // This is what getdate.y does after including unlocked-io.h:
   #include <stdio.h>

The C standard allows a compiler to reject this sort of thing, but I
don't know any implementation that does reject it, and I'd rather not
worry about it if it's not a real problem.  (If it is a real problem,
we also need to fix regex.c and perhaps some other code.)
