If you insist, I don't mind to keep it  - less changes for us,
again I am not a maintainer, nor a user of these PMDs.
Just don't to see much rationale behind it.
Ss I understand from your previous letters -
with global flags in place, it would build with -std=3D...
regardless do we have or not XOPEN_SOURCE=3D... in these PMDs or not.
