Yes but in that case HAVE_PWAIT will not be defined unless the system
reserves pwait too. And if pwait is reserved by the system the other
package will have to do its own renaming anyway. So you end up with
three symbols libiberty_pwait for libiberty, other_pwait for the other
package and wait for the libc function. I don't see what is wrong
with this setup. Anyway, if that's not what you had in mind please
provide an example.
