FreeBSD defines the BSDish types (u_char, u_int and friends) only if
you aren't using _XOPEN_SOURCE. I don't remember exactly, but we had
to include <sys/file.h> on some platforms. It's a pity, but <sys/file.h>
use u_int, so it cannot be included. Try to compile the attached program
on a FreeBSD 5.x box (the compilation problem introduced in FreeBSD 5.0).
The OpenBSD case is a similar problem.

We cannot fix it easily, because we have to unify the defines on all
source files first, otherwise we get a lot of redefinition errors.
