The problem with adding _BSD_SOURCE globally is that it's too easy for
people to not be aware of their use of non-compliant routines unless they
get a per-module warning which they can then document by including such
overrides themselves.  So I agree that we want c99 to be set globally, but
I'd prefer to see the overrides done on  per-module basis.
