I think i disagree. Symbols with underscores are supposed for implementation only, so either the compiler or some internal library routines. But in this case, it is a symbol that should be visible to user applications (it is an index into the gregs of a processor context, much like REG_RAX etc. on x86), just happens to clash with hatari's own symbols. Also i doubt that such things will be changed in system header files, since it surely will break other applications (like gdb).

I would not consider this being a bug. You'll never know what symbols are defined by header files on not-so-common systems.
