Very unlikely.

Well, it would indicate to me, with about, oh, less than a second's worth of
thought, that BSD is not defined by the system compiler.  If the
documentation says it is, and it isn't, then that is an error in the
documentation.  If you do a 'cc -v <whatever>', and there is a '-DBSD'
somewhere on the line shown for cpp, then, and only then, would I say that
it is a compiler (actually preprocessor) bug.
