The support for 'function_name' has been removed since waf 2 as it
was broken ( see
https://gitlab.com/ita1024/waf/blob/master/waflib/Tools/c_config.py#L420)

I guess the best option is to just use 'header_name' or to use the
'fragment' parameter to write a fragment that calls the desired function.
