As I see it, this kind of compatibility is usually added in

Oh, so do these headers get searched/included first before the ones in
the posix sub-directory? And do nothing except include_next if
_BSD_SOURCE isn't defined?
Yes, that's the idea.
We could review this however. Initially the headers did not have the
_BSD_SOURCE guard, and the bsd directory was not part of the default
include path (so you had to mess with -I to use these headers). I added
the _BSD_SOURCE and made the bsd/ directory part of the system include
path.
I'm not sure there is a technical reason to keep these headers in a separate
"bsd" directory anymore, but it keeps things organized and follow the
convention we used for other standards (we have "posix", "gnu" and
"glibc" directories following mostly the same pattern).
