yeah that's one solution: don't include libc
headers after these macros (it may require
significant changes though, a quick workaround
hack is to preinclude sched.h before the
macros)

(in principle these names are reserved for the
implementation so such macros are not required
to work, in practice they work if there is no
later declaration of these functions.

normally stdlib.h declares these functions, so
if that's included before the macro definitions
then it works, however with _GNU_SOURCE defined
musl also declares calloc in sched.h.)
