Our __hwloc_restrict macro is actually a copy/paste of AC_C_RESTRICT's tinkering. The problem is precisely that AC_C_RESTRICT provides "restrict", and not another keyword, so that using it in installed headers may conflict with other headers' tinkering about restrict. Yes, configure is meant to detect such kind of things, but it can not know which variety of headers the user will want to include from its application, and any of them could want to define restrict to something else.
