FWIW In Xen we decided to go with the BSD list macros in our LGPL
library interfaces to avoid a similar sort issue.
http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/file/74d2af0b56ea/tools/include/xen-external
has that plus a handy sed script to namespace the interface, although I
don't suppose that will matter inside seabios.
