Haven't tried this patch but am suspicious of it.

_BSD_SOURCE is a Linux-ism and means nothing on FreeBSD. However,
_POSIX_SOURCE on FreeBSD (as it should) will have the effect of
removing all non-POSIX declarations from the #include'd namespace.

Surely Classpath uses some non-POSIX functions (otherwise why would
_BSD_SOURCE be required on Linux?), so hopes are dim on this working.

I'd prefer to not have Linux specific code in Classpath if we can
help it (the biggest offender is that Classpath won't even build
unless "make" is really "gmake").
