In fact the 2nd example is from unp v1 3e source: pthread07.h. I found
it simple enough to regenerate the problem. I met it when I made and
ran serv07 in the source directory unpv13e/server.

Now I think it is a very terrible problem: I can't have any global
varible whose name is the same with those in libraries. For example,
__srefill, __sread called by fread, or thounds of any other function
names in any libraries that I needed.

I will check why FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Mingw + gcc don't have the same
problem, and check what the c99 standard says.
