_GNU_SOURCE

Ben

Does _GNU_SOURCE exclude _BSD_SOURCE?

(It seems that _GNU_SOURCE implies _BSD_SOURCE but prefers SysV/POSIX where there are behavior conflicts with BSD.)

Greg

Would like updated statement re default GNU libc namespaces from the maintainers

Some discussion about the __xpg4 symbol causing link-time/runtime variation of Solaris libc behavior, e.g., sprintf(). It could have some security consequences in somewhat rare and unusual situations. A library can't easily select a specific behavior at compile time.

Will

Had to change compiler level (compiler standards conformance selection) for rlogin -- changed behaviors for open() on STREAMS devices (module autopush).

IETF

CAMMAC in WGLC.

AES-SHA-2 seems ok. Ben wants test vectors; there are now some available.
