I'm not sure we should do anything (Vin really wants to stop maintaining 21.4), but if we do my vote is +1 for fixing the configure checks and -1 on the code changes. It's not clear that those changes would be trivial, especially if we have any code that does something different #ifdef _BSD_SOURCE than for #ifdef _SVID_SOURCE. But we may not have a choice, as configure.in is long obsolete, and I suspect many distributions may stop supporting autoconf 2.13 in the nearish future. Steve
