>Description:
	The man page for a.out(5) suggests that it is possible to access
data structures describing the "a.out" file format by:

SYNOPSIS
     #include <a.out.h>

This is not so.  a.out.h requires the prior inclusion of <sys/types.h>

>How-To-Repeat:
	obvious
>Fix:
	either #include <sys/types.h> in /usr/include/a.out.h OR fix
the documentation for a.out(5) to indicate that the inclusion of
<sys/types.h> is required to access the a.out structures.
