> When a component uses either XOPEN_SOURCE or POSIX_C_SOURCE macro
> explicitly in its build recipe, it restricts visibility of a non POSIX
> features subset, such as IANA protocol numbers (IPPROTO_* macros).
> Non standard features are enabled by default for DPDK both for Linux
> thanks to _GNU_SOURCE and for FreeBSD thanks to __BSD_VISIBLE. However
> using XOPEN_SOURCE or POSIX_(C_)SOURCE in a component causes
> __BSD_VISIBLE to be defined to 0 for FreeBSD, causing different feature
> sets visibility for Linux and FreeBSD. It restricts from using IPPROTO
> macros in public headers, such as rte_ip.h, despite the fact they are
> already widely used in sources.
> 
> Add __BSD_VISIBLE macro specified unconditionally for FreeBSD targets
> which enforces feature sets visibility unification between Linux and
> FreeBSD.
> 
> Add single -D_GNU_SOURCE to config/meson.build as a project argument
> instead of adding separate directive for each project subtree.

> This patch solves the problem of build breaks for [1] on FreeBSD [2]
