I do have a suggestion. Maybe we can get into an agreement still…

How about you use the following sed expression on installation?
This way you’d only have to change the Makefile.in in question.

s/[[:<:]]__unused[[:>:]]/&_/g

I do not know if your sed(1) does [[:<:]] and [[:>:]], ours does,
see http://www.mirbsd.org/man7/re_format – if not, something si-
milar would probably be possible.

As __unused* should never be used from userland, this would work
I think.

No, the only way I've seen them sold is for $40 with a free OpenBSD CD.
