Hm. Thinking about it, i guess i like this one better than defining _ALL_SOURCE inside gcc or the wrapper. Using strip-flags in ebuilds seems more readable, than append-flags -U_ALL_SOURCE... I think this is the way we should go.

If you agree, I'll bootstrap a prefix on interix 5.2, and also patch this (and all ebuilds)...

Cheers, Markus
