Currently UML sets up nasty maps for known namespaces clashes.
i.e.
KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS-y) -D__arch_um__ \
        $(ARCH_INCLUDE) $(MODE_INCLUDE) -Dvmap=kernel_vmap      \
        -Din6addr_loopback=kernel_in6addr_loopback \
        -Din6addr_any=kernel_in6addr_any -Dstrrchr=kernel_strrchr

A much better approach would be having a real linker scope.
Some time ago I posted some thoughts on that:

Due to -ENOTIME this never materialized, though. ;-(
