Something like this should be fairly close to producing the exact list:
$ autoconf '--trace=AC_DEFINE:$1:$2' | grep ':rpl_[^:]*$'

Unless you're using these functions in the C++ code, I suggest you could
produce a helper header to #undef them again; you could even do that
automatically during bootstrap with above.  Then only a portability
layer would need to avoid using these symbols in another namespace.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
