So your issue only appears when you specify _XOPEN_SOURCE.  This is reasonable,
because __bitcount stuff in sys/types.h was put under _BSD_VISIBLE protection.
I am not sure why and I Cc:ed the author of the change.

IMO all symbols from __bitcount* are in the private namespace and could
be made unconditionally accessible, to avoid surprises.  I put the patch
at the end of the message which does this.

That said, pthread_np.h is not specified by POSIX/X/Open, so your use of
the header and affinity functionality is not covered by _XOPEN_SOURCE
contract.  The consequences of mixing implementation-specific headers
and request for the standard-compliance can be arbitrary.
