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...

It's necessary to fix compilation issues for a POSIX compliant Java VM,
that uses sockets.
There are similar open bug reports against NetBSD too, without any
comments on why this change can not be made.
