Hmm, I can't see why a __EXTENSIONS__ (like Solaris has) would break posix confirming programms. But, it would help for eg. autoconf third-party apps which set POSIX_C_SOURCE. Instead of changing other peoples code, I just could do: setenv CFLAGS "-D__EXTENSIONS__=1" ./configure It would be only a little change to sys/cdefs.h and wouldn't break anything.
