The best solution for offending code (to keep compatibility) is:

#ifdef __NetBSD__
#define unix 1
#endif

or adding -Dunix to the cc command line.  Trying to hack cpp to turn off the
warning if the user has checked for __NetBSD__ is a lose, because it may
check for both for _different_ things, and you would be required to check
for __NetBSD__ first to terminate that warning.  It's very non-intuitive.
