There's no equivalent to features.h...  And while this includes
a few repeats:
 bash-3.2$ find /usr/include/ -name \*.h|xargs fgrep -h \#ifdef|sort|uniq|wc -l

Sure.

I missed the suggestion altogether. Sounds like the right thing to do.

The #ifdef _ALL_SOURCE in netdb.h comes right after the #endif of #ifdef _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED. So all doesn't really mean all, just kinda sorta maybe some.

Yeah, AIX is a joy. And thanks to DARPA and the DOE, it ain't going away. The following seems to work for me on Solaris 5.8 and AIX 5.3.
