_GNU_SOURCE -- Enable glibc extensions (GNU extensions.)

+slibc provides some slib-specific extensions that
+do not require _SLIBC_SOURCE. (They are however
+disabled if _PORTABLE_SOURCE is defined.) These
+extensions are defined in header files whose
+name starts with `slibc-`. Headers starting with
+`slibc/` are not extensions, those are internals
+that may change at any time.
