[PLUG] ftw.h frustration


I want to use the function nftw, but it turns out that features.h
disables this function, even though the files are all GPL.

(Search for __USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED in /usr/include/features.h to see
details.)

Anyone know why glibc would be compiled without this? Worse, the man
page doesn't reflect this. It all seems like the sort of thing I'd see
on a proprietary OS ("Sorry, you didn't pay for that option.") rather
than on linux.
