Bug description:
  The program try.c, below, does not compile.
  Though with HAVE_ARCH_STRUCT_FLOCK and HAVE_ARCH_STRUCT_FLOCK64 defined, it compiles.
  But then fails again to compile, when _GNU_SOURCE is also defined.
  I expect this to compile in all three cases.

  $ cat try.c
  //#define _GNU_SOURCE
  //#define HAVE_ARCH_STRUCT_FLOCK
  //#define HAVE_ARCH_STRUCT_FLOCK64
  #include <fcntl.h>
  #include <linux/fcntl.h>
  int main(int argc, char *argv[]){}
