Instead of adding the #if/else blocks above, how about adding these in some header file?

Hmmm ...
It's a bit unexpected to have fundamental syscalls like getuid() implemented as macros which can return 0 ...
Why? If those functions don't exist, this supplies replacements (functions) that have the same semantics as the code in Dan's patch: i.e. pretend UID==0 and GID==0. but with far fewer cpp directives. Doesn't it do the right thing?
