Look closer and read the manual:
#ifdef __USE_GNU
/* A function missing in all standards: compute exponent to base ten.  */
__MATHCALL (exp10,, (_Mdouble_ __x));
/* Another name occasionally used.  */
__MATHCALL (pow10,, (_Mdouble_ __x));
#endif

define _GNU_SOURCE and you're fine.  Never define any __USE* macro
yourself,
