According to Bruce sys/types is a prerequisite for sys/wait. Technically speaking, that makes the ports broken, but the "brokenness" of the ports was caused by FreeBSD not really enforcing this. If we do make sys/types a prerequisite for sys/wait, then we need to give porters the time to change their code and thus need to make sure it still works, albeit with warnings. So far I haven't seen any direct inclusion of sys/endian.h. It seems that not including sys/types before sys/wait is by far the most common case (ie 3 out of 3 :-) -- Marcel Moolenaar mail: marcel@cup.hp.com / marcel@FreeBSD.org tel: (408) 447-4222 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
