Note: the TODO is a list of files to review autogenerated by grepping
for MISC or BSD in headers from glibc.  Some of these can be expected
to work with _BSD_SOURCE already, because glibc uses so many feature
tests.

Extremely bad wording on my part.
_BSD_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE make these structs available in glibc:
group_req, group_source_req, group_filter, ip_msfilter

I had forgotten which structs as of the last mail.
I'd expect breakage without them, though I guess we could wait and see.
