Comment:
In 10.7, in `/usr/include/sys/types.h`, we have:
{{{
#if !defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) || defined(_DARWIN_C_SOURCE)
typedef unsigned char u_char;
typedef unsigned short u_short;
typedef unsigned int u_int;
[...]
}}}
so presumably 10.4 has instead:
{{{
#if !defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE)
typedef unsigned char u_char;
typedef unsigned short u_short;
typedef unsigned int u_int;
[...]
}}}
The uses of `u_*` types are in other system headers, so we can't change
the places they're used.
The patch validates on x86 32bit OS X 10.7.
It feels very hacky, but I don't really have a better suggestion (short of
declaring 10.4 to be not supported).
