>Description:

	According to Networking Services (XNS), Issue 5.2,
	_XOPEN_SOURCE>=500, not just _XOPEN_SOURCE=500, should imply
	_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L:

	> [I]f _XOPEN_SOURCE is set greater than or equal to 500 and
	> _POSIX_SOURCE is defined, or _POSIX_C_SOURCE is set greater
	> than zero and less than or equal to 199506L, the behavior is
	> the same as if only _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined and set greater
	> than or equal to 500.

	https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009619199/chap1.htm#tagcjh_02_03

	But we only define _POSIX_C_SOURCE if _XOPEN_SOURCE=500
	exactly, not >=500.

    148 #elif (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0) == 500
    149 #define	_POSIX_C_SOURCE	199506L
    150 #endif

	https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/sys/sys/featuretest.h?r=1.13#139

>How-To-Repeat:
#define	_XOPEN_SOURCE	520

#include <sys/featuretest.h>

#ifndef _POSIX_C_SOURCE
#error "fail"
#endif

>Fix:

	Change == to >=.
