do you mean:
do not define _EXTENSIONS_
or
stop removing define _EXTENSIONS_
?
hint: the latter is correct :-)

this is correct.

yield() is not visible in the headerfiles (unless _EXTENSIONS_ is 
defined). however, the sun linker (in my case: Solaris Link Editors: 
5.8-1.283) will make programs without _EXTENSIONS_ defined call yield() 
anyway.
