Here's a test case:

$ gcc test.c -Wimplicit-function-declaration
test.c: In function âmainâ:
test.c:7:3: warning: implicit declaration of function âaligned_allocâ
The cause is that the declaration of aligned_alloc in stdlib.h is
guarded by #if __ISO_C_VISIBLE >= 2011 || __cplusplus >= 201103L; but
defining _GNU_SOURCE causes __ISO_C_VISIBLE to be defined as 1999.
Here's an excerpt from /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h showing how this happens:

According to the discussion of the emacs bug I mentioned, Linux and
FreeBSD don't have this issue. Should Cygwin's headers be changed to
conform to those other platforms?
Yes, it should. I have added this to my queue of such fixes, which I
hope to post soon.
