I'd look in the glut header files before looking in the cstdlib. The fact there is even a macro GLUT_BUILDING_LIB to define to "stop a clash between glut and stdlib" says that the incompatibility is the glut header file and library, rather than the standard library.

Generally, suppliers of third-party libraries (like glut) are responsible for ensuring compatibility with compilers and standard libraries. Presumably, in your case, the glut library people have not ensured compatibility with your version of Visual Studio.
