--- Comment #2 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> ---
Andreas, what? Your comment makes no sense. First you say it's defined by an
application (FreeBSD syslogd, which probably is not the one used on most
glibc-based systems...) to get these definitions, and then you say it's safe to
remove (it's not; it would break the application).
At the very least, several syslogd implementations, including Busybox syslogd,
define SYSLOG_NAMES to get these definitions. So just removing them would need
to be coordinated with programs using them. It's _probably_ safe to just move
the whole mess under __USE_MISC though to fix the conformance issue.
