yeah, i think that's why it started breaking.

mmm, not that simple.  the error you're seeing is because the open macro
rewrote the host_callback_struct structure.  and then we tried to use it,
but they no longer matched.

include/sim/callback.h:
struct host_callback_struct {
  int (*open) (host_callback *, const char*, int mode);

common/sim-io.c:
int sim_io_open (SIM_DESC sd, const char *name, int flags)
{ 
  return STATE_CALLBACK (sd)->open (STATE_CALLBACK (sd), name, flags);
}

i'm not keen on relying on open being defined to a simple symbol name and thus
it will continue to compile.  if it's defined to something more complicated, i
imagine it will still fail to compile.
#define open(args...) _foo_open(1234, ## args)

so i think it's better to move the undef between the system includes and the
local sim includes so it's undone for the header & source.  this file doesn't
use actual open() call, so should be fine.
