Doesn't need m4/gnu-source.m4: the autoconf built-in AC_GNU_SOURCE
is sufficient here, since Solaris doesn't have euidaccess().

__EXTENSIONS__ won't help because <string.h> doesn't include <apptrace.h>.

So in summary, for modules/timespec and modules/unlocked-io I have no
objections, but for the others it's overkill to make these modules depend
on the m4/gnu-source.m4 file when the autoconf built-in already does all
that's needed.
