--- Comment #1 from Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella at linaro dot org> ---
From features.h, default if other than _GNU_SOURCE or _DEFAULT_SOURCE is
defined _DEFAULT_SOURCE is used.  This is the case for the compiler usage on
first case (gcc -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2).

Now, if one explicit specific _POSIX_SOURCE (second case), _DEFAULT_SOURCE is
then not defined and then __USE_MISC is also not defined. __USE_MISC sets if
the fortified macros for bzero/bcopy will be used.

This is the expected behavior imho opinion and the way to use the fortified
wrappers for bzero/bcopy is to explicit defines _DEFAULT_SOURCE or __USE_MISC
when _POSIX_SOURCE is used.

This is not a bug IMHO.
