The simplest choice would be to just define it unconditionally in linux.h.
Since it is not supposed to change any interfaces, just add new ones, this
should be safe.  If you don't believe that, then we really need to test
and define _GNU_SOURCE early in configure so the following tests can take
it into account.  In either case, the command line is not the place for
it.
