Comment (by kevin8t8):
I believe OpenSolaris (and OpenIndiana, etc), are in the wrong here.
"internal" macros, and especially those indirectly included, should be
prefixed with "_" or double-underscore unless they are reserved.
https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Reserved-Names.html has
a nice write-up about this.
It looks like a bug was opened at https://www.illumos.org/issues/6856
about this, and in my opinion it should be fixed properly in the OS.
Now, my ranting done, I realize that likely isn't going to happen with
OpenSolaris. :-)
Vincent, you mentioned renaming these flags would break patches. Do you
have an idea of how bad the breakage would be. Do any contributors/devs
have other suggestions about a _clean_ way to fix this?
