Is that a real problem?  Why does it matter what the struct member is
called, so long as the program always calls it by the same name?

I'm asking because, if this is a problem with gnulib, it is likely a
problem with other platforms like Solaris, which are not above putting
things like "#define open open64" in their standard header files.
