Thanks for the quick reply!  Yes, this should fix things for us -- and
answers my implicit question of whether it was better to fix this by
avoiding the macro or whether bitops.h was expected to be exported.

It's user-visible, but since it's been defined to something that
doesn't work in user-space, it seems unlikely to me that it has any
actual users....
