   somewhere == doc/HACKS.

It's not really a hack, though.  This is just the way we have to make
colliding symbols not collide.  What we don't have is a way to
automate it so you don't have to write `#define xdr_foo
_solaris_xdr_foo', or so the toolchain will notify you if you forgot
to.

There's a similar thing in the DRM/KMS Linux shims: linux.kmod is
supposed to define only symbols beginning with `linux_', drmkms.kmod
is supposed to define only symbols beginning with `drm_', &c.
