[issues] glibc uses “__unused” as identifier, which is traditionally used by BSD as macro

[Thorsten Glaser <tg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I don’t know if ↓ applies to eglibc as well, but you might want
to fix that; seeing how Drepper treats the BSDs, he’s not likely
to preserve source level compatibility to software originating
at the BSDs.

Note that the Linux headers have the same problem since recently,
whereas the BSDs have been using it “since forever”. The Debian
「libbsd」 package works around it by not defining 「__unused」
and patching the source code to not use it either, but I don’t
think that is the way to go. I have a personal package of mirmake,
the somewhat-portable version of MirBSD make(1), and would like to
continue to be able to build it and software with it on GNU/Linux
(and eventually GNU/k*BSD and GNU/HURD).

Sincerely,
//mirabilos
