Why not enclose the #define in #ifndef/#endif, and do the real magic in 
the Makefile? Within the AIX clause:

	ALL_CFLAGS += -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1

This way the source does not get cluttered with platform dependent 
defines.

True but the original convert-objects.c defines _XOPEN_SOURCE on
all platforms not just AIX.
