: I don't see the point of that since we are including *our* <sys/cdefs.h>

Not for a host tool.  In fact, we *CAN'T* include "our" <sys/cdefs.h> for
using pax as a host tool, since a foreign host may have its own
<sys/cdefs.h> that defines things needed for that host.

Of course, if KNF didn't specify direct inclusion of <sys/cdefs.h> at the
very top of the file (which it shouldn't, braindead bull$%^t), I wouldn't
have to fight this bogosity.
