if you are talking about redefining (as in "#define open open64") in
m_pd.h, than please: no NO!

that will break compilation of a number of externals immediately.
one that comes to my mind is any C++-external (including Gem) that
uses "open" methods in classes.
e.g.
 foo::open(s);
will expand to
 foo::open64(s);
which will break binary compatibility when linking to any library
providing foo::open() simply by including m_pd.h
