But this is a much more invasive change. I'd leave this to upstream.
IMHO To do it correctly, we would need to use conditional compilation -
which I can not do anyway due to lack of glibc knowledge.

What about renaming the one in giflib into __giflib__reallocmemory? It's
only used 9 times in the whole code.
