Ok, but what about for example bugzilla 1203, if you fix this in the 4.6
product it will be an API change which means we have to be aware of it in
our code.

This is what I needed but bad it is broken, hopefully this can be repaired
soon

Yes, we know, but someway we have to support/use all these variations in
ACE/TAO and then we are using posix defines, our defines and version checks.
