That information is 15 years out of date, a lot of the platforms are dead or
obsolete, and compilers are gone or changed a lot. There is no attempt at
discrimination across clang or gcc platforms, and no mention of Cygwin or Mingw
platforms, newlib or musl libraries, nor mention of other feature test macros:
better do "man feature_test_macros" for currently useful information.
