Deprecated, yes; obsolete, almost but not yet.

glibc 2.17 is still supported in CentOS 7, IIRC, and _BSD_SOURCE was 
deprecated since glibc 2.20 (see feature_test_macros(7)).

However, since this is an example program, which should mainly teach how 
to write new code, I'm inclined to use the non-deprecated version.

So, patch applied.

Thanks,

Alex
