  48    normally defined, since it means "conform to POSIX, but add
  49    non-POSIX extensions even if that violates the POSIX namespace
  50    rules", which is what we normally want.  But with getgroups there
  51    is an inconsistency, and _DARWIN_C_SOURCE means "change getgroups()
  52    so that it no longer works right".  The BUGS section of compat(5)
  53    says that the behavior is dubious if you compile different sections
  54    of a program with different _DARWIN_C_SOURCE settings, so fix only
