Discussion on this issue went silent, so I'd like to push it somewhat.
There were a good number of quite in-depth comments, but we still have
to find the one solution to go for.

  I will of course happily to test builds in any direction, but in
which direction do we want to proceed? Just do a few small patches to
avoid those functions that aren't declared easily? Update the stuff
that needs further updates and go for -D_GNU_SOURCE?
