FWIW the effect of _GNU_SOURCE is documented in <features.h> on linux, and that’s also how you get 64bit vfs call (large file support) etc…
autotools give you _GNU_SOURCE by default usually e.g.

I double checked, _GNU_SOURCE is enough to get all the bits and pieces that you care about (at* calls, _BSD_SOURCE, etc…)
