 It depends if we only consider GDB specific functions
or also functions which are part of some system headers.

For the second category, a possible solution would be to
add or override the function as a macro that would generate an error
at compilation time,
but I am not sure this is easy to do in a way that would 
work for all systems...

  We could forbid by this scheme
function like bcmp/bcopy, abort,
even forbidden constants as true or false
See the list of 'Fixed' items at the bottom of the ARI web page.

  As long as we reach an agreement on the method...
