By "GCC features.h header" do you mean one under the GCC installation
tree in /opt, or /usr/include/features.h?  If the former, that
explains the problem - you have a fixinclude'd features.h created on
the old system, which has a glibc that predates POSIX 2008, so
_GNU_SOURCE doesn't define __USE_XOPEN2K8 (as I think it would on a
newer glibc)

Or you can provide a wrapper script which invokes the actual gcc
driver with the additional flags you need.

Rather than defining __USE_XOPEN2K8 (which is definitely not meant to
be defined/undefined by users) I would consider modifying the
features.h file so that _GNU_SOURCE sets __XOPEN28K.  You could try
building the same GCC on a login machine, and compare the features.h
from that build (if it has one, otherwise just use
/usr/include/features.h)
