To use generic code able to compile in all plattform may be a solution
for this specific issue, but we will surely find situations where we
will need to use code A for one plattform and code B for another
plattform.
We need some kind of preprocessor definitions determining the host
plattform.
A possible alternative would be to manage the situation using a more
fine-grained approach: to test capabilities for single functions (such
as the version of the `open' function existing in the system) using
autoconf.
What do you (all) think about this?
