Nope.  A google on "_POSIX_C_SOURCE vs __USE_POSIX" quickly leads to
this:

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Feature-Test-Macros.html

And if you have a look at /usr/include/features.h, which is the header
files that controls what happens, you'll see a fairly large comment
listing the available feature macros, quickly followed by a series of
#undef, among others this:

#undef  __USE_POSIX

So you see, defining __USE_POSIX in util.c does exactly nothing.

So, defining _POSIX_C_SOURCE is quite correct.  However, because
features.h is include *much* earlier, you have to define it much
higher up.  See attached patch.

Cheers,
Richard
