It's slightly better to set _GNU_SOURCE in the source code, but if one must do it via the compiler invocation, then the best way to do so is this: $(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE= ...because otherwise, if this form is used: $(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE ...then that leads the compiler to set a value, as if you had passed in: $(CC) -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 That, in turn, leads to warnings under both gcc and clang, like this: futex_requeue_pi.c:20: warning: "_GNU_SOURCE" redefined Fix this by using the "-D_GNU_SOURCE=" form.
