It is also correct to merely move the names out of application
space.  ie, change:
int foo(int *bar);
to:
int foo(int *_bar);

For the bystanders, this is so that if somebody already has a macro:
#define bar 1
then a later #include <sys/sysctl.h> will fail due to: int foo(int *1);
Applications are perfectly entitled to do this.

Cheers,
