Well, this was intended as an incremental step in that direction.

As for defining _BSD_SOURCE, if I read the glibc documentation
correctly, this is exactly what is intended:

"If you compile your programs using gcc -ansi, you get only the ISO C
library features, unless you explicitly request additional features by
defining one or more of the feature macros. [...] You should define
these macros by using #define preprocessor directives at the top of your
source code files."

Please let me know if there's something else I can do.
