I have mixed feelings about this suggestion. There may be a couple of
problems in defining these _*_SOURCE flags. Sometimes they bring in
unwanted declarations and #definitions, sometimes they remove them.
But then, it shouldn't make any difference for packages that check for
everything they need and use symbol names that aren't defined in any
standards.
