[OpenAFS-devel] xdr renaming

[Andrew Deason]

In rx/xdr.h, we conditionally rename pretty much all xdr routines for
primitive types from xdr_foo to afs_xdr_foo. From reading commit
messages, I gather this is just in cases where we can't use the builtin
xdr routines for whatever reason.

This is causing me a small headache. For some libuafs experimentation,
I'm trying to link both libuafs and libsys in the same binary. This
normally works fine, but specifically on amd64 linux this causes linking
problems, because only on there (and darwin, and (kernel && !ukernel))
we rename the xdr_foo symbols. libsys uses some xdr_foo functions, and
libuafs doesn't have them defined, since it doesn't include xdr.o or
xdr_array.o.

On non-amd64linux, libsys just uses the built-in xdr_foo in libc, so
it's fine. On amd64 linux, libsys looks for afs_xdr_foo and doesn't see
any. With some minor finagling, I can get xdr{,_array}.o in libuafs, and
can force the xdr renames, so it can be made to work.

To make this easier, can we just unconditionally #define xdr_foo
afs_xdr_foo? Is there any situation where we may not want to do that?
