 I don't think we have a plan to not require -D_NETBSD_SOURCE.

 Yes, there are plans to have the compatibility stuff eliminated. It
 won't be really soon -- there are still a lot of big changes that need
 to be done (example: changing Minix's passwd and mtab formats to match
 the NetBSD formats), but there are developers actively working on it.

 Yes, during the part of bootstrap that builds pkg_install we get this failure:
