Actually, what I do on everything that's not gcc is
+  CFLAGS="-D_U_=\"\" $CFLAGS"
so it define it to "go away and don't bother the actual compiler with it".

What I don't know is whether this is something that is the same on
all compilers or not. I case it isn't, I won't be able to do this
via commandline options but vie config.h, which would require me to
include config.h into every file that needs _U_
Does anyone use a compiler that doesn't allow me to -D_U_=""?

I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know
what proactive means.
