IIRC glibc2 requires "-D_GNU_SOURCE" (or "-D_XOPEN_SOURCE") for
XPG4 strptime(3):
 https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man7/feature_test_macros.7.html
 https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=time/time.h;hb=f2bea4da2e65b5d91a23a01fb2062bcec33974aa#l213
 https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=include/features.h;h=650d4c5e129518dbec0d6d4eecf9d7ebff7fdfd5;hb=f2bea4da2e65b5d91a23a01fb2062bcec33974aa

#ifdef __GNU_LIBRARY__
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#endif
in compat_defs.h etc. will work?

BTW it looks strptime(3) is also in POSIX.1-2008:
