Subject: bug#9141: [PATCH 1/3] extensions: Enable extensions on MacOS X 10.5 and later.
Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2011 10:18:12 -0700

Recent versions of MacOS seem to have a _DARWIN_C_SOURCE flag that
has roughly the same role that _GNU_SOURCE has for GNU systems.
I pushed the following patch into gnulib, under the theory that it is
more in the line with the usual Autoconf / gnulib philosophy,
and it may fix some porting issues.

Herb, can you please try configuring coreutils with this change?
If you don't have all the autotools installed, you can simply append
"#define _DARWIN_C_SOURCE 1" to lib/config.h after running "configure".
Thanks.

* m4/extensions.m4 (AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS): Define _DARWIN_C_SOURCE.
