Thanks for the reply. I didn't look good enough above it and missed that.
Thanks.

I don't know why _NETBSD_SOURCE is defined there but not before.

I am looking but no clear on all I am looking for.

Here is the gcc line adding the -H

 cc -H -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../include -DGLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY 
-I/home/packages/tmp-pkgsrc/new/modular-xorg-server/work.glacier/.buildlink/include 
-I/home/packages/tmp-pkgsrc/new/modular-xorg-server/work.glacier/.buildlink/include/freetype2 
-DHAVE_DIX_CONFIG_H -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes 
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs 
-fno-strict-aliasing -D_BSD_SOURCE -DHAS_FCHOWN -DHAS_STICKY_DIR_BIT 
-I../Xext -I../composite -I../damageext -I../xfixes -I../Xi -I../mi 
-I../miext/shadow -I../miext/damage -I../render -I../randr -I../fb -O2 


And the output:
