Hi package maintainers,
maybe you can do such a thing during package installation?
This would tremendously help porting software (liberal in
what one accepts), such as NetBSD® makefs (ITP: #538171 –
for now I worked around the issue in it).

I do have a suggestion. Maybe we can get into an agreement still…
How about you use the following sed expression on installation?
This way you’d only have to change the Makefile.in in question.
s/[[:<:]]__unused[[:>:]]/&_/g
I do not know if your sed(1) does [[:<:]] and [[:>:]], ours does,
see http://www.mirbsd.org/man7/re_format – if not, something si-
milar would probably be possible.
As __unused* should never be used from userland, this would work
I think.
Comments?

No, the only way I've seen them sold is for $40 with a free OpenBSD CD.
