In principle that may be true, but in practice it's not.  As you noted,
sadly, important networking features like ancillary data are only
available in an X/Open environment (this is on our list of things to fix),
so you need to use _XOPEN_SOURCE -- but you have no desire to be stuck
with strict conformance.
