There's no equivalent to features.h...  And while this includes
a few repeats:
 bash-3.2$ find /usr/include/ -name \*.h|xargs fgrep -h \#ifdef|sort|uniq|wc -l
      402

Sure.

I missed the suggestion altogether.  Sounds like the right thing
to do.

The #ifdef _ALL_SOURCE in netdb.h comes right after the #endif of
#ifdef _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED.  So all doesn't really mean all,
just kinda sorta maybe some.

Yeah, AIX is a joy.  And thanks to DARPA and the DOE, it ain't
going away.  The following seems to work for me on Solaris 5.8
and AIX 5.3.

Jason, wishing they would all just see the light...
