Vinay Sajip added the comment:

The existing docs have a section "These constants are GNU extensions and not present if they are not defined by the C library."

There could be a corresponding section for BSD extensions to which O_EXLOCK and O_SHLOCK are moved, or the word "GNU" can removed from the existing section and these two flags moved to it. How does that sound? My preference would be for the latter.
