No.  You should include both <libc/dosio.h> and <fcntl.h> and call
_USE_LFN.  Actually, all headers in include/libc should be for compiling
the library only, but it turns out that _USE_LFN is useful for 
applications also, so it was moved into <fcntl.h> in v2.01.

I would also advise against including LFN-related features in 
v2.0-compiled programs, since LFN support in v2.0 has subtle bugs.  It is 
better IMHO to say that LFN isn't supported unless you upgrade to v2.01; 
if you do that, you can get rid of <libc/dosio.h> altogether.
