This really depends on when you performed linux programming the last time :) The linux libc <= v5 contained a lot of namespace pollution of this kind, the linux libc 6 (glibc2) on the other hand has an exteremly strict namespace (unless you define _GNU_SOURCE :P), which caused many old-time, unportable linux applications to have compile problems.
