Which doc would that be?  Here's a sample discussion:

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-standards/2004-March/000474.html
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-standards/2004-March/000485.html

"FreeBSD doesn't require __BSD_VISIBLE.  On the contrary, __BSD_VISIBLE is
an implementation detail, and setting it in applications gives undefined
behaviour."

BTW, I upgraded my FreeBSD install to 10.3, and everything still builds
without that define.
