Point taken. We'd have to try it, or rely on bug reports.

I just blew away my source tree and reloaded from scratch with cvs. Now
I'm not seeing those warnings, even though _POSIX_C_SOURCE isn't defined
anywhere I can find. I might have messed something up while I was making
modifications. I'll let it go another day and see if it's still a problem.

In the meantime I'll research how to turn off warnings. If you want
configure to not use -Wundef for FreeBSD will that mean changing the
autoconf macros? If so, it will take me a while to come up to speed on
m4/autoconf/etc. Maybe there's a pragma someplace that will let me turn
it off in setup.h with just an #ifdef.
