Thanks.  This is my real problem:  building libgtop2 from pkgsrc:

 cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -D_IN_LIBGTOP -D_GNU_SOURCE -I../../sysdeps/freebsd -I../../include -I/usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/libgtop2/work/.buildlink/include/glib/glib-2.0 -I/usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/libgtop2/work/.buildlink/lib/glib-2.0/include -Winline -Wall -std=gnu89 -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -I/usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/libgtop2/work/.buildlink/include -I/usr/include/krb5 -DGTOPLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/pkg/share/locale\" -DLIBGTOP_VERSION=\"2.12.2\" -DLIBGTOP_SERVER_VERSION=\"5\" -DLIBGTOP_VERSION_CODE=2012002 -DLIBGTOP_SERVER=\"/usr/pkg/bin/libgtop_server2\" -DHAVE_STATVFS_READS_COUNT -DHAVE_STATVFS_WRITES_COUNT -Winline -Wall -std=gnu89 -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -fno-strict-aliasing -O2 -c msg_limits.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/msg_limits.o
In file included from msg_limits.c:56:
/usr/include/sys/msg.h:193:23: sys/systm.h: No such file or directory

_KERNEL is indeed defined in the source code of libgtop2 which is
why msg.h wants to include systm.h.  But systm.h has been deleted
by postinstall, which doesn't seem to make sense.

Can you enlighten?
