The very basics are: application request particular namespace at compile 
time using -D_*_SOURCE define. According to choosed _*_SOURCE some of 
__*_VISIBLE macros are defined and some not (if no namespace choosed, all 
__*_VISIBLE are defined, default case). According to __*_VISIBLE macros 
defined some functions or definitions becomes hidden or visible.

See the very end of /sys/sys/cdefs.h for live examples.

__*_VISIBLE macros are in form __<standard or platform>_VISIBLE
For example can be __CDDL_VISIBLE or __ZFS_VISIBLE (depends on exactly 
where those extensions was introduced). Lets take __ZFS_VISIBLE for the 
rest of explanation.

You need to directly hide those extensions for every particular 
_*_SOURCE namespace, i.e. add 
#define __ZFS_VISIBLE 0
to all of them and enable extensions 
#define __ZFS_VISIBLE 1
only for the last (default) case (at the very end of /sys/sys/cdefs.h)

Then use (for unistd.h)
#if __ZFS_VISIBLE
#define SEEK_DATA ...
#endif

Try to asking more help at standards@ or bde@ who notice it first and 
knows this thing apparenly better than me.

Good.
