[Bug runtime/11852] New: Nice to have - structure name aliasing/changing

["Menny_Hamburger at dell dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

I do not know if this belongs to the runtime or elsewhere:
When probing a user application or library that includes structure names 
simmilar to one defined in the kernel, it would be nice to be able to rename 
the structure (only for that specific app) in order to prevent redefinition 
compilation errors, for example:
I am currently trying to tap Samba, which requires some work by itself (many 
conflicting types between /usr/include/...
Samba has a user_struct, thus compilation fails due to redefinitions of 
user_struct in Samba and in the kernel. It would be nice to be able to have an 
alias or to be able to change the structure name while probing.
