It's at least asking for BSD-style stuff, instead of straight ANSI.
It certainly isn't asking for the full _GNU_SOURCE.

I started on <unistd.h>, and noticed a namespace issue:
ualarm, usleep, and a few other functions should actually NOT be defined
on _GNU_SOURCE (per the glibc headers and manpages), but only on
_BSD_SOURCE or _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
Instead, they are defined only on _GNU_SOURCE.
(There's also the L_SET & co. aliases for SEEK_* to do, but that's
trivial).
I'll have a patch once unistd.h is ready. There are a few more
functions to move around, though--I have to locate all the problem ones.
Should be ready in a day or two.
