It is impossible to fix it in GNUstep Base, because we can’t guarantee that 
user code doesn’t include system headers after including GNUstep headers (not 
to mention the fact that GNUstep is not the only Objective-C standard library 
implementation out there).  If the user does, for example:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#include <something_that_includes_cdefs.h>

void example()
{
        __weak id foo = bar();
        baz(foo);
}

Then they will get a compile error no matter what GNUstep’s Foundation.h does.  
It can’t prevent cdefs.h from redefining __weak to be something different.

I’ve just looked at the GNUstep base changelog since that NetBSD commit and 
there are no relevant changes, so I’ve no idea what the NetBSD people are 
thinking there.
