When building rirc on FreeBSD, I noticed some compiler warnings about a function called gettimeofday() is implicitly defined there. Even adding "sys/time.h" header, it seems like the function gettimeofday() is only visible, if __XSI_VISIBLE is defined (or simply _XOPEN_SOURCE).

GNU systems, usually avoid such macros, with _GNU_SOURCE or _DEFAULT_SOURCE macro. *BSD needs this (at least _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600) to use this function.

Prototype definition: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/13037eaabede7fb7fbc25f4e84b549c73f9acb3c/sys/sys/time.h#L631
