If you think that it is a bug in the uclibc headers to declare the
clone() function at all, your argument is valid. However, I think the
comment in the bug ("why cant this symbol get renamed so that things
compile?") is also valid (regardless of who is "at fault"). Renaming
the enum value to avoid the potential conflict may be the better option
anyway...
And I don't think glibc's behaviour is a normative reference :) (If
someone could find a specification that clearly says whether it is
disallowed to declare clone(), that would be nice...)
