I agree.  However, what's the rationale behind its declaration
having ended up in <stdlib.h>?  I won't contend that Solaris'
is prior art, but since <stdlib.h> rarely concerns itself with
file descriptor management, OpenBSD's in <unistd.h> seems a
more natural choice of placement to me, but it's also unnecessarily
diverging.
