Database links can no longer be aliased in Oracle 8, what to do?

I have a problem with upgrading from Oracle 7 to Oracle 8. Our code has many references to database links, which we aliased so we could easily refresh our development and test database from production. In Oracle 8, aliasing is apparently no longer allowed, and the database links have to have the same name as the database. Does anybody have any suggestions to get around this without doing a lot of recoding?

I appreciate any help I can get on this.

Thanks,
