Headers and "making it visible" are not involved here. See XBD 2.2.2
The Name Space:

    The following identifiers are reserved regardless of the inclusion
    of headers:

    4. All functions and external identifiers defined in XBD Headers
    are reserved for use as identifiers with external linkage.

    5. All the identifiers defined in this volume of POSIX.1-2008 that
    have external linkage are always reserved for use as identifiers
    with external linkage.
