At least you can 'just do it' :-)

IIRC some of the MIN() need to be min() and others are used for
constants so would need an initial #ifndef MIN test to maintain
bisection without having a single patch that changes all the
files at once.

MIN() (and probably your MIN_T()) ought to have a check for
being a constant in order to stop misuse.
Perhaps just:
#define MIN(x,y) \
	(__builtin_choose_expr((x)+(y), 0, 0) + ((x) < (y} ? (x) : (y)))
