Not sure actually.  Well, to make sure, it's best to delete
`config.h.in' and regenerate it, either with `autoreconf' or with
`autoheader'.

To summarize, on `master', `config.h.in' contains this:

  /* Enable GNU extensions on systems that have them.  */
  #ifndef _GNU_SOURCE
  # undef _GNU_SOURCE
  #endif

On `branch_release-1-8', it should not contain this snippet; if it does,
regenerate things until it vanishes.  ;-)

I think it's really going to be helpful to see more platform build
results.  It's a good tool to help us improve portability, and to make
sure we don't break things.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
