Try not to use as the name of a variable the well known name of a
standard C library function, there are cases where some of those names
are used as #define directives and then all hell break loose...

Also doing first the change that makes the use of that new file would
allow me to have processed that patch first, which is way simpler than
this one, i.e. try to leave the more involved changes to the end of the
patchkit, that helps cherry-picking the less complex/smaller parts of
your patchkit.

I've applied the first one, thanks!
