gcc4: OpenMP vs. <math.h>

[Yaakov (Cygwin/X)]

POSIX allows for <math.h> functions to also be defined as macros. 
Currently, only log2 and log2f are so defined.

These macros pose problems with a few projects which define their own 
static/inline/template log2() (off the top of my head, I can think of 2: 
the CRAN rgl module, and OpenCV; both are C++).  Of course, those can be 
fixed with an #undef log2 after the #include's.

However, I just encountered tonight a much larger conflict: OpenMP/C++ 
and <math.h> are incompatible.  STC attached:

$ g++ -D_GLIBCXX_PARALLEL -fopenmp openmp.cxx -lgomp

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/include/c++/parallel/base.h:112: 
error: expected `)' before ‘/’ token

It gets even worse if you #include <algorithm> as well, and no, it 
doesn't help to #include <cmath>, although moving the math include after 
all other includes does work.

I see two possible solutions:

1) Make the log2 macros dependent on #ifndef __cplusplus;
2) Make the parallel/* headers #undef log2 and log2f.

Thoughts?
