You really should ask Google, since their BoringSSL is a modified
copy of OpenSSL, they should be providing a way to prefix all
identifiers with some Google prefix.

But why do you need both these derivatives of SSLeay?, are you sure
one of them won't provide all the needed functions?

Anyway, your best bet if your really need this is to do a global
search/replace in your copy of the source code before building
the library.  This can be scripted with perl, which is needed
during the regular build process anyway (unlike e.g. Python).


Enjoy
