I think that this is a silly (albeit relatively benign) change.  Since
the <fnmatch.h> header isn't defined by POSIX.1, a strictly complying
POSIX.1 program cannot include it.

Fnmatch() is specified by POSIX.2.  I would expect any extensions
above and beyond that standard (for example, GNU's fnmatch has
several) to be protected by a:

	#ifndef _POSIX_C_SOURCE

I don't see why the value of _POSIX_SOURCE should have any bearing on
whether fnmatch() should be declared.
