It seems to me that it is allready possible. If a module has another name 
it could have different characteristics. If I'm not wrong the alloca and 
alloca-opt have allready that kind of relationship, and also xalloc and
xalloc-die for example. Maybe you want the similar things but within just one
module with conditionnals?

alloca malloc realloc strtod atexit dup2 getcwd getpagesize memmove memset 
strerror regex

I'm not certain that they are all really needed as some are picked up by 
autoscan and I haven't checked how they are used inthe code exactly.
The package I am trying to help packaging is http://opendap.org/, and I
am currently working on libdap and libnc-dap.
