Symptom::
Builds of the X window system fail on 4.3-Reno when using gcc,
with many error messages about a parse error in line 209 of
/usr/include/signal.h.
Bug::
/usr/include/signal.h references the type pid_t when __STDC__ is
defined, but does not define this type anywhere, or #include a
definition of it.
Fix::
Make /usr/include/signal.h (really /sys/sys/signal.h) include
the definition of pid_t from <sys/types.h> when __STDC__ is
defined (and perhaps when it's not, depending on taste).
The following patch does this, albeit in questionable style.
This may or may not be appropriate when compiling the kernel.
