Define both to allow everything:

_DEFAULT_SOURCE enables BSD and SysV features, is the default if *NO* others 
defined, and replaces old _BSD_SOURCE and/or _SVID_SOURCE
_GNU_SOURCE enables all the GNU, X/Open, POSIX, C, etc. features but original 
Unix SysV and BSD extensions

Search online for man 7 feature_test_macros, copy from a Linux system, or 
download, and install the man page under /usr/local/man/man7/ for reference.
