The smoking gun is in <sys/cdefs.h>. Near the bottom. It is NOT
possible to ask for ANY level of standards (XOPEN, POSIX, C) and still
get the BSD functions.
Mutually exclusive.
All other OS let you get BSD and XOPEN/POSIX/C, but only FreeBSD says their
way or bust. Even NetBSD and others let you have BSD + XOPEN + POSIX
I gotta think about this one overnight. Makes me want to rip out
every BSD function there is.
Unless there is a handy #ifdef I can use to detect FreeBSD OS before
including any header files.
