Defining EXTENSIONS could also help. IIRC it works just like GNUSOURCE/NETBSDSOURCE.

We do define EXTENSIONS, this is not the issue. We define _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 on all systems, because that is the highest value specified by any X/Open spec today. The system may not support all of the latest Posix features; this is not problem because we autoconfiscate them.

The problem really only occurs if somebody thinks they need to define _XOPEN_SOURCE to some other value; the compiler will then complain.
