Yuck.

What the h**k is _ALL_SOURCE? What are the valid other possibilities, _ALL_BINARY???

I am wondering if we want to do "#ifdef _AIX" around truly yucky parts.

I notice that I did not heed Linus's suggestion to define these to 1 to make them behave identically as "cc -D_GNU_SOURCE", by the way...

Also I wonder if we do _ALL_SOURCE before any of the system header files on AIX, if we still need "_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED 1" which we specifically added for AIX.
