On Linux (actually glibc2), _XOPEN_SOURCE expand declarations to add
XPG4 functions etc.

On NetBSD (and FreeBSD and OpenBSD), _XOPEN_SOURCE restricts declarations
to disallow NetBSD or GNU extensions.

Then several packages require extra -D_NETBSD_SOURCE definitions to
allow such functions on NetBSD.
 https://github.com/NetBSD/src/commit/4be7a2dcf395bcf0739f131315b64970d74b265e

It looks _GNU_SOURCE on glibc2 allows all declarations including
XPG4 and POSIX etc. as our _NETBSD_SOURCE does.

Note OpenBSD changed their _OPENBSD_SOURCE (like our _NETBSD_SOURCE)
to _BSD_SOURCE, probably as old glibc2 did:
 https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/431045e8b96f00cdfe3ad00cae059bf4e15e90fa

however it looks glibc2 deprecated the _BSD_SOURCE and
prefered _GNU_SOURCE (as described above):
