Possibly. So we need discussion.

I have registered comment #1: Al prefers the enum style. A possibility.

Now you come with comment #2: write LINUX_MS_RDONLY instead of MS_RDONLY. You have not convinced me.

My 0.02 euro.

LINUX_* - not right stuff. It makes a lot of sence to have the same
name for same thing, even in different contexts. Or you are going to create a hell for some-one who may wish to make a documentation.

Headers are going to be used in different context (hopefully) so
would be no collisions (hopefully).

Another question does GCC have something like C++'s namespace for C? That's would be good. Changing names - bad.

And #define LINUX_NS(x) doesn't make sound - you will lose ability to
grep over defines and [ce]tags will not work on this anymore. cpp is not correct tool for namespace implementation.
