FreeBSD does not currently claim compliance with SUSv2, and is
unlikely to ever be able to.

The P1003.1-200x document eliminates the requirement for <sys/types.h>
in many places; see (e.g.) the description of fork() at XSH pages 887
through 891 (and specifically lines 12890 and 12891).  So, this is a
change we are going to be required to make.
