 @defvr Macro _BSD_SOURCE
 If you define this macro, functionality derived from 4.3 BSD Unix is
 included as well as the @w{ISO C}, POSIX.1, and POSIX.2 material.
-
-Some of the features derived from 4.3 BSD Unix conflict with the
-corresponding features specified by the POSIX.1 standard.  If this
-macro is defined, the 4.3 BSD definitions take precedence over the
-POSIX definitions.
-
-Due to the nature of some of the conflicts between 4.3 BSD and POSIX.1,
-you need to use a special @dfn{BSD compatibility library} when linking
-programs compiled for BSD compatibility.  This is because some functions
-must be defined in two different ways, one of them in the normal C
-library, and one of them in the compatibility library.  If your program
-defines @code{_BSD_SOURCE}, you must give the option @samp{-lbsd-compat}
-to the compiler or linker when linking the program, to tell it to find
-functions in this special compatibility library before looking for them in
-the normal C library.
-@pindex -lbsd-compat
