what namespace would that be?  It's clearly ok for systems to define
REG_* macros in their system headers.  It's quite common in
<sys/ucontext.h> or similar headers.  The clashes only occur if the same
definitions are present on different systems (which can only occur in
multi-target code like this --enable-targets=all configuration).  Why
would cris (or microblaze or nds32 or solaris) have more right to them
than others?
