I can't help thinking this is fighting a losing battle, and we should just
always prefix everything to avoid clashes.

That would be so ugly that it would be almost useless.  Plus there would
be a huge amount of code to convert.

Also, not really that bad:

$ gcc -dM -x c /dev/null -E|grep define\ [^_]
#define unix 1
#define linux 1

I don't expect other OSes to be significantly worse.  Remember this
breakage is not limited to QAPI-generated code, it would happen in
normal code as well.  I learnt today that a variable named "unix" is not
kosher.

I got only this from OpenBSD:
#define sparc 1

Mingw has these:
#define WIN32 1
#define WINNT 1
#define i386 1

I'd suppose the full list from GCC is this:
$ grep -hr 'builtin_define_std' gcc/config |sed -n
's/.*"\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p'|sort -u

Cherry-picked into qmp branch, thanks.
