Assuming you are referring to compiling a code with g++  (and not
compiling gcc itself), then no it doesn't make a difference. (in fact,
g++ -v shows that _GNU_SOURCE is already defined).

Could it be some other silly mistake on my part, e.g forgetting to set
an environment variable or something? Indeed there is the distro's g++
compiler installed on the login node, and most of these headers --
that are potentially incompatible with the gcc versions I am trying to
install under /opt -- are under common places  /usr/include etc.

I see. Thanks for this info, it seems I should not be using generic
locale then.
