I had time to investigate more time in looking into the original build project and see that I was missing a compiler option. Interesting thing is, that it only results in additional definitions set which seems to solve the "ambiguousity".
-include _api/ge_mac_flags.h
Which looks like
#ifndef __GE_MAC_FLAGS__
#define __GE_MAC_FLAGS__
#define __MAC
#define __DEBUGGING__ // avoid conflicts with DebugAssert() definition for the Mac
#if __LP64__
#define __C4D_64BIT
#endif
#endif
Solves it!
