The only solution is namespaces.
When the language does not support them, they can be emulated by using 
prefixes in identifier names, for example:

In fancy_lib.h:
typedef short FANCY_LIB_INT16;

If the library didn't use prefixes, there will always be problems.

By the way, I repeat that once once again:
When there is an unexplainable compilation problem, look at the 
preprocessor output: look at the gcc command in the makefile output, 
replace -c by -E and change the name of the output file.
You will see instantly the nature of the problem.
