Yes, it compiles with _GNU_SOURCE being set. And it turns out that not
only the check for xfs.h needs _GNU_SOURCE, many other checks need it
too, like libxfs.h, xfs_log_format.h, xlog_assign_lsn, xqm.h and xfsctl.

Attached file is updates I made to autoconf rules, as I'm not familiar
with autotools, I'm not sure if it's a proper fix, but it does work for
me, with both old and new version of xfsprogs.

Thanks,
Eryu
