Darwin is that much different than most *BSD's.  Now the macro stuff 
makes things un-debuggable.
I would recommend using static (inline) functions.  Just using "#if 
HAVE_" instead and then having
different files duplicating the stuff over and over again would be no 
more.  There is already enough
duplicated code, why add more even in the same project.
