Apple CC == gcc, as far as I can tell.  And the definition of  
_POSIX_C_SOURCE, which seems to disable too much stuff, is in /usr/ 
include/sys/cdefs.h:

/* Deal with various X/Open Portability Guides and Single UNIX Spec. */
#ifdef _XOPEN_SOURCE
#if _XOPEN_SOURCE - 0L >= 600L
#undef _POSIX_C_SOURCE
#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE     200112L
#elif _XOPEN_SOURCE - 0L >= 500L
#undef _POSIX_C_SOURCE
#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE     199506L
#endif
#endif

Why _POSIX_C_SOURCE disables strncasecmp, I don't know.  It makes me  
sad.

Yours,
