It does more than that - for C++ it defines _GNU_SOURCE and so causes many non-standard names to be defined as well. Fixing this requires cooperation from libc maintainers to provide implementation-namespace versions of whatever functions libstdc++ wishes to use from its headers that are not included in strict ISO C90+AMD1, and I doubt such cooperation will be forthcoming. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36231
