We could rename the Balloon3D DPRINTF to DPRINTF3D and the regular dprintf to DPRINTF.
Yes, we could. Nonetheless...
I thought dprintf, being a GNU extension, would have absolutely no right to pollute the global namespace unless specifically requested by #define _GNU_SOURCE before inclusion of any header file? Sounds like a serious bug in glibc and/or the config of gcc on fedora 11 to me. Renaming every application function as/when gnu decides they own the name is not a scalable solution. I hope someone with a fedora on which they can make a small test case is reporting this to the relevant people.
Actually, it seems to be POSIX:
