I agree. And some of the ones defined to empty string should either
be undef'd or defined to appropriate values on those systems where
they are present, including:
#define VAL_O_NONBLOCK
#define VAL_EAGAIN
#define RD_NODATA
I'm afraid it may be a case of having configure.com create a try.c
for each of these things.
