shortnames/remap.h is built on the fly using a horrible ugly hack to
analyze all of your .[ch] files, find unique occurrences, and
eventually (very eventually) spit out a remap.h file which maps long
names into 8-character names that are palatable to machines running
with braindamaged C compilers, notably SysVRel5.0 and previous.

If your system wanted to include remap.h, it's because the config.h
file detected a lack of ability to differentiate among longnames which
are not unique within the first 8 characters.  Find the source to that
problem, and you'll not have to worry about remap.h any more.
