Perhaps you can get the best of both worlds by moving the "name space
polluting" routines into a separate library.  Of course, that would lead to
many "I upgraded and now the linker can't find xxx" messages.  Another
possibility would be to rename the offending routines and provide an
oldnames.h file full of things like
  #define delay _delay
Either solution requires first identifying all the invalid names.
