What do you mean non-glibc? :)

Ignoring Minix as a build host (I think that's reasonable),
AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS  defines _ALL_SOURCE _GNU_SOURCE
_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS _TANDEM_SOURCE, and does a compile-time
sanity test of __EXTENSIONS__ (because it's possible that some
combination of these defines make the system headers unusable on
Solaris).

This is annoying.  How about for oe-core we patch in -D_GNU_SOURCE to
src/util/Makefile.am's CPPFLAGS definition and I'll discuss with
xorg-dev for a proper fix?
