"PORTD &= 0x77;" looks for me more "natural" (than outb(.....)) and code is
a lot more readable.
There is also place for compiler optimizations (address arithmetic has a
long history and "support" in C).
In case of library development it may be worth to dive into "macro hell" to
save time during final development.

I am not Posix fan, but also try avoid any macros in C.
