This is defined outside of any #ifdefs, which I *think* is okay, since
the function exists in both Linux and FreeBSD. I guess if anybody
complains then we can think about testing for the function at configure
time, but no sense in complicating configure.ac if we don't need to...

ACK.

(BTW, although I didn't have a need for this function when I suggested
it, just today I was writing some code that will need it! :-)
