Something like this should be fairly close to producing the exact list: $ autoconf '--trace=AC_DEFINE:$1:$2' | grep ':rpl_[^:]*$' > Do other people have these kinds of problems?

Unless you're using these functions in the C++ code, I suggest you could produce a helper header to #undef them again; you could even do that automatically during bootstrap with above. Then only a portability layer would need to avoid using these symbols in another namespace. Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
