We want our symbols "avilable" so lets not use _XOPEN_SOURCE on Darwin!

Personally, I think hiding interfaces such as strXXX and memXXX
based on _XOPEN_SOURCE level is already a bug in the system
header implementation.  The symbols that begin with str are
already reserved by the standard and I do not see any point
in the system headers to try avoiding namespace contamination.

Well, it depends, I'd say. Different strXXX functions may be introduced by different versions of standards and with _POSIX_C_SOURCE one can, for example, define to be compile for a specific standard version only.

Two and half questions.

#1   __APPLE__ vs __APPLE_CC__ is not something I can decide (I
     do not run a Mac).  If MaxOS is derived from FreeBSD, does
     it by chance define __FreeBSD as well?

#2   Terje's patch excludes _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED as well on a
     Mac, but yours doesn't.  Is there a reason that you would
     want '#define _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED 1'?  Do both FreeBSD
     and Mac behave well with it defined?

First of all, the combined patch posted is wrong since __FreeBSD doesn't work on FreeBSD, but __FreeBSD__ does.

Second, a grep over the FreeBSD headers in /usr/include shows that _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED only affects 2 curses header files, so it's safe to exclude it, i.e. define it for FreeBSD.
