That's the double underscore macro, that's #defined internally by
/usr/incldue/features.h in response to some other macro.

I can #include linux/sched.h directly if this is really a problem.
That's the more correct thing to do since this is a recently added linux
kernel feature, and has nothing to do with gnu anything.

Hang on, you don't get _clone_ unless you say _USE_GNU?  I get it if I
don't specify _any_ feature test macro.

Something is very broken here.

glibc 2.11.1 here does not, sounds like a recent regression.

But sure, I can #include linux/sched.h to get this.
