-D_REENTRANT still necessary?

I've just looked at the header files of a GNU libc 2.2.3 installation,
and it seems that -D_REENTRANT only results in the declaration of
get_login_r(). For example, the thread-specific errno() seems to be
activated with and without -D_REENTRANT. In addition, the
documentation seems to say that -D_REENTRANT does not change existing
declaration (as it did in the old days).
Shall I compile libraries with -D_REENTRANT nevertheless, or is it
obsolete and/or unnecessary?
