it is an interesting solution indeed but I would rather not rely on my

There's an easy solution to the maintenance problem: in your test suite,
use the stripped-down hand-crafted header only, just as users of your
library would.
Even your stripped-down version should rename the defines, since they may
otherwise conflict with other Autoconf-using software. (Yes, usually they
will end up with the same values, but not always.)
Renaming the defines would be problematic since my library shares a
configuration file with libtool's libldtl and configures once rather
than twice. I am not interested in modifying libldtl to use my own
naming scheme.
Lucky for me, the header files only require four definitions, one
definition is usually disabled, and another maybe could be elminated
with a bit of work. Only one of those definitions (WORDS_BIGENDIAN)
is from autoconf!
