Dear maintainer(s),
snoopy fails to build from source with glibc 2.43, currently in
experimental. From the build log:

The full build log is available here [1].
The issue is due to a redefinition of _XOPEN_SOURCE. In glibc version
2.43, the value of _XOPEN_SOURCE as provided by features.h got bump to
800 in order to support POSIX.1-2024 [2]. To fix the FTBFS, the
definition on the snoopy side should probably be guarded.
I would like to thanks Emanuele Rocca for doing the archive rebuild on a
fast arm64 server.
Regards
Aurelien
