While building -current (supped) (with make -k), I get the following
error:

struct link_map is defined in <link_elf.h>, which is conditionally
compiled (on __ELF__) from <link.h>.
Note that this is only lint, and compilation succeeds, but the result is
nevertheless that later on, I get

I suppose lint does not get __ELF__ predefined whereas cc does? It does
seem to be predefined in cpp - maybe lint doesn't use it?
