The problem isn't that they're macros *now*. The problem is that they
were macros back when the existing apps were built, like the bash on
sourceware. If we could recompile the world, it wouldn't be a
problem. I am, however, considering de-macroizing them in case this
happens again, even though there's a minor speed penalty when that
happens.
I'm working on a patch that uses api_major/api_minor (which I just
remembered we had :) to detect these legacy apps, and try to adjust
the conversion logic accordingly.
