FWIW namespace*.h is from BSD although it may only be used in newlib/posix.

What if you start with replacing search.h with the FreeBSD one rather than
modifying
the one that's there?  Any existing files that are impacted can then either
be fixed or
updated with the current FreeBSD implementation.

It is generally better to stick close to original and traceable sources
than to start
modifying.

Sorry for being slow/offline. Between teaching an RTEMS class, some travel,
and being sick, I am barely answering email.
