looking at CVS source.
the one you found should be the only occurrence, and
it is coming from newlib

src/newlib/libc/include/string.h:#if !defined(__STRICT_ANSI__) || 
(_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500)
src/newlib/libc/include/string.h:#if !defined(__STRICT_ANSI__) || 
(_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700)

in the only other place it is already implemented like taht

src/newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h:  #if (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0) == 700 
/* POSIX.1-2008 */
src/newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h:   #elif (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0) == 
600      /* POSIX.1-2001 or 2004 */
src/newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h:   #elif (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0) == 
500      /* POSIX.1-1995 */
src/newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h:   #elif (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0) < 
500       /* really old */

and there is a specific note on the matter:

* _POSIX_C_SOURCE if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined and _POSIX_C_SOURCE is not.
* (_XOPEN_SOURCE indicates that XSI extensions are desired by an 
application.)
* Allow for _XOPEN_SOURCE to be empty (from the earliest form of it, 
before it
