No, why is this odd? Here's what I use in gettext to avoid collisions of
the "lock in libintl" with "lock outside libintl".

  dnl Rename some macros and functions used for locking.
  AH_BOTTOM([
#define glthread_lock_init     libintl_lock_init
#define glthread_lock_lock     libintl_lock_lock
#define glthread_lock_unlock   libintl_lock_unlock
#define glthread_lock_destroy  libintl_lock_destroy
#define glthread_rwlock_init     libintl_rwlock_init
#define glthread_rwlock_rdlock   libintl_rwlock_rdlock
#define glthread_rwlock_wrlock   libintl_rwlock_wrlock
#define glthread_rwlock_unlock   libintl_rwlock_unlock
#define glthread_rwlock_destroy  libintl_rwlock_destroy
#define glthread_recursive_lock_init     libintl_recursive_lock_init
#define glthread_recursive_lock_lock     libintl_recursive_lock_lock
#define glthread_recursive_lock_unlock   libintl_recursive_lock_unlock
#define glthread_recursive_lock_destroy  libintl_recursive_lock_destroy
])

That's what global #defines are good for.
