phtoXX() take a pointer and handles unaligned data; renaming them won't cause a conflict with the Linux #defines.
htoXX() take an argument and just byte-swaps as necessary; they're currently just wrappers for GLib macros:
/* Turn host-byte-order values into little-endian values. */
#define htoles(s) GUINT16_TO_LE(s)
#define htolel(l) GUINT32_TO_LE(l)
so one option would simply be to get rid of htoles() and htolel() and just use the GLib macros directly.
