That depends on the linker and is out of the c spec. But you could
define macros instead if functions. Or if the code is c++ you could
create a compatibility header with something like that:

namespace gl_compat
{
void glWhatever(GLint foobar)
{
     glcore::core->glWhatever(foobar);
}
}
using gl_compat::glWhatever;

There are some detailed mails from Georg around that sum up important
design discussions. I consider most of them quite official. :)
