Yes. Please see how scanlogd does it:

This tends to work technically, but it's a wrong thing to do. Those
double-underscore feature macros are meant for use by libc itself only,
not to be set by programs. Instead, you should "#define _BSD_SOURCE"
and let libc take care of defining the proper double-underscore macros.
That's what scanlogd does since 2002.

Thank you for bringing this to the list.
While we're at it, maybe you could convert the program from C++ to plain C?
It hardly takes any advantage of C++, so staying plain C would make more
sense in JtR.
