Add the feature test macro which is required for building with the

The feature test macro _XOPEN_SOURCE = 600 provides the XSI-compliant
version of strerror_r().

  _XOPEN_SOURCE 600 is set as a compiler parameter for all other
toolchains that need it, including glibc and whatnot.
We should really do the same for musl here, using special treatment is weird.

Detect musl in configure, add a new libc block, set
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 in the cflags, and it would be consistent with
everything else.

We had a discussion about this issue here at the mailing list.

Detecting musl in configure is not possible. There is no __MUSL__ like __GLIBC__ in <features.h>. The maintainers of musl prefer that the library is tested for the exposed feature set.

Another approach is to set the desired feature test macro at source level, which is the recommation of the GNU C Library Reference Manual, instead of setting it with -D.

If we follow this approach, we have constintency for glibc, uclibc, and musl. And we do not need a libc block for them in configure (at least not for setting any feature test macro with -D).
