I imagine Garrett and other standards-minded people have already seen
this question, but I thought I'd echo it to the freebsd-standards
mailing list. It's about a PR which makes a minor change to
<sys/types.h> to solve some compile-time errors so that a program
compiled with -D_POSIX_SOURCE currently gets if it references
<sys/socket.h>. Seems like a plausible change to me, but I don't
know enough about POSIX details to really know...
