Eric,

The configure(1) script currently undefines __BSD_VISIBLE or sets it to 1.
This should work with both the BSD header-files, which use the construct
"#if __BSD_VISIBLE", and with your patches, which use the construct
"!defined(__BSD_VISIBLE)". Consequently, I don't think any modification is
necessary.

> stdio.h:#if __BSD_VISIBLE || __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200112 || __XSI_VISIBLE
> stdio.h:#if __BSD_VISIBLE || __POSIX_VISIBLE <= 199506
> stdio.h:#if __BSD_VISIBLE
> stdio.h:#if __BSD_VISIBLE || __XSI_VISIBLE > 0 && __XSI_VISIBLE < 600
> stdio.h:#if __BSD_VISIBLE || __POSIX_VISIBLE >= 200809
