I'm glad you popped up Corinna.  I was worried that
Cygwin would suffer from this problem also.

If Cygwin has to enable them and RTEMS has them from BSD code,
then they aren't Linux specific are they?

Maybe the macro is misnamed and you almost always want these

FWIW The GNU Ada run-time actually needed a couple turned
on because it assumed they were defined.
