Hi Paolo,

Indeed, this hack seems to be a good approach to immediately fix things without
moving around all source files and headers. In the longer term, I'd prefer Sean's
proposal to move rseq.c to tools/lib/ (and to move rseq headers to tools/include/rseq/).
This can be done in a follow up phase though. I'll put a note on my todo list
for after I come back from vacation.

I'll be able to do this refactoring on top of this fix.

Thanks,

Mathieu
