OK.  I did some digging.  __lint__ is not documented, as far as I
can find.  Experimentation tells me that it is defined by lint(1),
but not by gcc.  (unless requested, of course)

__LINT__ _is_ documented, but not in NetBSD in the man pages.

Is there a place in the man pages that I can get a list of the pre-defined
macros?  Is this something that is available only via FSF?

So, to answer the question, note the slightly expanded and annotated
snippet from /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h.

#if !defined(_STANDALONE) && !defined(_KERNEL)
  #ifdef __GNUC__
    #define __RENAME(x)     ___RENAME(x)        // GNU C compiler
  #else
    #ifdef __lint__
      #define __RENAME(x)     __symbolrename(x) // lint run
    #else
      #error "No function renaming possible"    // any non-gnu, non-lint
    #endif /* __lint__ */
  #endif /* __GNUC__ */
#else /* _STANDALONE || _KERNEL */
  #define __RENAME(x)     no renaming in kernel or standalone environment
#endif

Looks to me like any compiler other than gcc simply won't work.

Assuming that this guy (mec) is using gnu cpp, I have no idea
what's wrong.

?
