The most reliable way to do this is to rename the said functions at the source code level, in the scope of poke. That is, in some .h file that all poke files see but that gdb does not see (such as poke/config.h), add definitions such as #define xmalloc libpoke_xmalloc #define xstrdup libpoke_xstrdup. Most gnulib modules respect such definitions in config.h. If you find a module that doesn't, please report it here. For a fixed list of symbols, this can be done through an AH_VERBATIM invocation in poke's configure.ac. Bruno
