I do not believe that it is right to use -D_GNU_SOURCE because we
aren't writing GNU software. The definitions I added seem to be what
GNU/Linux documents and they seem to work if you want to get the
current code working with GCC 14. kre has raised an important issue
with this approach though, and I'll discuss that in a separate email.
