Both of the above is better than that long defines check in my opinion.

If you don't think it is a problem, then use the workaround presented above.
Similar workarounds will quite likely be needed for other applications as
well if using the ccc compiler.

It is not the GCC team you have to ask. /usr/include/byteswap.h is a glibc
header, not a GCC header. The GCC headers are properly separated from system
headers in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/..../include/
/usr/include/ headers should be pretty much compiler neutral (won't in a
number of years, but should..)
