I don't know why they're different (on my glibc 2.12 system the uselocale definition is guarded by __USE_GNU, just like your CentOS system) but it looks like you've found the solution. Users are not supposed to use the __USE_XXX macros, instead you should define _GNU_SOURCE to enable __USE_GNU and _POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L (or greater) to enable __USE_XOPEN2K8.
