Those ifdef's are a jungle.  (I've been working most of today on the core
dump, so I don't expect to return to this one today).  The _XOPEN_SOURCE
definition is needed for some other things, but then there's
vendor-specific stuff - I noticed a __SGI_ABI (spelling?)  which might be
useful to prop it up.
