I'll do that, but isn't it better to just re-add #define _GNU_SOURCE in lib/portability.h?
I know it is a big hammer and you hate it, but fixing every libc out there for
standards compatability related to different defines is not going to be fun,
let me count - uclibc, dietlibc, newlib, musl, eglibc?, bionic (patching it is
easy, getting the patches merged, whole different matter).
