Notice that issues are different on the various BSDs.

I think of Python on Unix as "POSIX+Extensions". On all POSIX systems,
_XOPEN_SOURCE should be defined. If additional defines are needed to
activate extensions, we should define them.

If FreeBSD has no mechanisms to request extensions other than defining
__BSD_VISIBLE, we should define it. Before doing so, I'd like to know
what Python features would need that.

Please don't post patches to python-dev.

Ok, then this needs to be investigated. This is a clear bug.
