That's a compiler bug (unless <math.h> is in scope).  The correct
solution is not to rename the variable, but to add -fno-builtin to
CFLAGS globally, and fix those parts of the tree that break due to
missing includes.  Who knows, we might even uncover libc bugs that
have been hitherto been masked by the compiler.
