Yes.  You have a bug in your code.  Never (and I mean *never*) use the
__foo_VISIBLE macros in your code.  Please read the long comment
preceeding the visibility macro handling in /usr/include/sys/features.h.
You want to use either _DEFAULT_SOURCE or _BSD_SOURCE (deprecated but
probably available for another 100 years).

Also, note the description of the __foo_VISIBLE macros later in the file.
It introduces the macros as "private" macros.
