# On AIX, most extensions are already enabled through the _ALL_SOURCE macro,
# defined by gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.  gl_USE_AIX_EXTENSIONS additionally
# activates more GNU and Linux-like behaviours, affecting
#   - the time_t type,
#   - errno values in <errno.h>: ENOTEMPTY
#   - functions in <stdlib.h>: malloc calloc realloc valloc
#     <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.3?topic=m-malloc-free-realloc-calloc-mallopt-mallinfo-mallinfo-heap-alloca-valloc-posix-memalign-subroutine>
#   - functions in <string.h>: strerror_r (returns 'char *', like glibc)
#   - functions in <dirent.h>: scandir, alphasort, readdir_r
#   - functions in <netdb.h>: gethostbyname_r gethostbyaddr_r
#   - declarations in <unistd.h>: sbrk
# and a couple of secondary <sys/*> header files.
