Most of these FAQs probably stem from #include <iostream>, which has
streambuf.h nested in it.  How about making a copy of streambuf.h with
an 8.3 filename and editing the nested include within iostream.h?

This could reduce the FAQs even though it does not actually fix the
problem.  And if you catch the GNU maintainers in the right mood, who
knows... ;-)
