IMO, it depends on what these headers are going to be used to.

If these headers are exported from the source-tree, HAVE_* would
potentially clash with autoconf's HAVE_* defines generated by
application configure scripts.

If these defines are newlib/winsup local, the naming actually doesn't
matter, except that they should be consistent.

If these defines are public and the corresponding files using them are
being exported from the source tree, they IMHO, should be namespaced.
(Say, ie. __NEWLIB_HAVE_*).

Just my 0.02 cents.
