clone.2

stat.2
    Michael Kerrisk  [Marius Gaubas]
        Warn the reader that the 'stat' structure definition is not precise

            somewhat across architectures.

gethostbyname.3
    Michael Kerrisk
        Remove redundant FTM requirements
            _GNU_SOURCE implies _SVID_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE, so

                _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _GNU_SOURCE

            is the same as

                _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

feature_test_macros.7
    Michael Kerrisk
        _GNU_SOURCE implicitly defines other macros
            Saying that _GNU_SOURCE has the "effects of" other macros is not
            quite precise.
    Michael Kerrisk

    Michael Kerrisk
        _ISOC99_SOURCE also exposes C95 definitions
    Michael Kerrisk

        Note version number for _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L implies C99/C95

            exposed only since glibc 2.12 and C99 definitions only
            since 2.10.
    Michael Kerrisk
