Comment (by olly):

 GCC supports "poisoning" identifiers, e.g. {{{#pragma GCC poison
 inet_ntoa}}}:

 https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.0/cpp/Pragmas.html

 Less portable, but perhaps less likely to cause issues - if a bad function
 is used as a method name or a variable, the pragma will at worst prevent
 compilation, whereas the #define approach could, for example, break the
 ABI of the built library.
