According to my C99 draft section 6.10.1.3:

   After all replacements due to macro expansion and the defined unary
   operator have been performed, all remaining identifiers are replaced
   with the pp-number 0, and then each preprocessing token is converted
   into a token.

That seems like a broken compiler? Still, portability.h is the place to 
workaround that kind of breakage. But I'd prefer to isolate it to its 
own stanza that blames the right thing so when we no longer care about 
gcc 3.4 know to remove it instead of having Magic Thing.

I'll do some variant of:

#ifdef gcc 3.4
#ifndef _GLIBC_
#define _GLIBC_ 0
#endif
#endif

That's also a broken compiler, but I'm already doing the "int x = x;" 
trick in several places to shut gcc's brain damage up, so that's not new 
evil...
