>Description:

According to http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/select.h.html POSIX recommends to declate select() function in <sys/select.h> header file.

On the other hand, NetBSD does declate select() in <unistd.h> and it is not visible from <sys/select.h>.

Some applications like ACE library expects to find select() in sys/select.h and need to be heavy patched to be built under NetBSD

>How-To-Repeat:

* man select
* See POSIX link above

>Fix:

Just make select() to be visible from <sys/select.h>
