 > Also in 2.20, the _BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE feature test macros have
 been removed. The declarations formerly available under those macros are
 now under _DEFAULT_SOURCE, but, since it's the default, one need not set
 it explicitly. Roland's suggestion, though, was that most code would
 (continue to) want to use _GNU_SOURCE or one of the POSIX-specific macros.
 (See this article for an introduction to glibc feature test macros).

 Worth mentioning (should be obvious due to the quote, but wasn't for me),
 that this "Roland" isn't "our" Roland. :)

 So, in order for us to support all glibc versions, should we define
 _BSD_SOURCE _and_ _DEFAULT_SOURCE?
