No need to apologies; we don't want there to be warnings there either!

Depending on which versions GCC / glibc you are using the resolution to
that situation is to put GCC into gnu99 or gnu11 mode, since
_{BSD,SVI}_SOURCE will be defined if GCC thinks that it's targetting an
older dialect of C.  That may not be necessary for more recent GCC's
which, apparently, no longer think that it is 1989.
