These are caused by some system include file defining major and minor
macros for Unix device numbering.  This include file gets brought in
on some (but not all) systems along with sys/types.h.  You can #undef major and
#undef minor in the offending source files, or change the names in box.h.

I've not heard of stdtypes.h (it doesn't exist on my system).  I thought
POSIX required pid_t to be in sys/types.h.
