Should have checked that.
I guess it will be a rewrite then.
Which profiles are you aiming to support? Latest versions only for
POSIX, ISO, and X/Open? Or only versions in the past decade?
I don't see any signs of version checks, so I assume you want POSIX2008
and XOPEN2008 (_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700) only, and no support for SUSv3.
This will make the patch a lot smaller and cleaner.

Tried to decode it, but it's pretty easy to lose track (especially in
the ifdef nest that handles XOPEN_SOURCE).

OK. _GNU_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
It's _XOPEN_SOURCE == 500 || 600, which I take it will not be supported.

Guessed that. It was meant as a comment on the status.

Forgot to add the SEEK_SET, etc. here.
Should be
#define L_SET SEEK_SET
..
hence the placement.

Forgot they went from straight from 1993 to 2001; I'll take that test
out.

Will fix.
Thanks for the comments.
