As Adam noted, the macros need to be defined before including the headers. More
details can be found in feature_test_macros(7)[1] and libc documentation.
musl libc documentation[2] states (search for "Feature Test Macros Supported by
musl")

Likewise, glibc documentation[3] on feature test macros states:

It is worth noting that most suckless programs don't define feature test macros
inside of the source code. Instead, they are usually specified in config.mk as
command line arguments passed to the compiler (thus guaranteed to not suffer
from header inclusion before defining feature test macros). This also gives a
clue on how to use termbox2.h properly.
