+# On AIX, most extensions are already enabled through the _ALL_SOURCE macro,
+# defined by gl_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS.  gl_USE_AIX_EXTENSIONS additionally
+# activates more GNU and Linux-like behaviours, affecting

+#   - errno values in <errno.h>: ENOTEMPTY
+#   - functions in <stdlib.h>: malloc calloc realloc valloc

+#   - functions in <string.h>: strerror_r (returns 'char *', like glibc)
