For gmalloc.c and mktime.c, this was probably because they were copied from Glibc, which can legitimately use names like __P. (There's one exception: unexalpha.c.) In some sense we ought to change these files not to use __P when moving the code outside Glibc, but that is unfortunate since it would require a fork. However, it would be better to use P_ instead in the other files. That is more consistent with the rest of Emacs, and with the C standard.
