Hi,
When attempting to make elm, the following error messages are displayed:


> cd melib; /usr/bin/make  - all
> cc -I../hdrs  -O    -c parse_util.c
> In file included from ../hdrs/defs.h:585,

looking at the souce to unistd.h reveals this:


> /* XXX prototype wrong! */
> int      setpgrp __P((pid_t pid, pid_t pgrp));  /* obsoleted by setpgid() */
> int      setregid __P((gid_t, gid_t));

These next two lines are the offenders

> useconds_t ualarm __P((useconds_t, useconds_t));
> int      usleep __P((useconds_t));

 commenting out the above two lines allows the make to run until much later when

it fails on something connected with the next few lines(I think):

> #ifdef __LIBC12_SOURCE__
> pid_t    vfork __P((void));
> pid_t    __vfork14 __P((void));
> #else
> pid_t    vfork __P((void))                      __RENAME(__vfork14);
> #endif

 This is how it fails:

> syscall.o: Undefined symbol `___vfork14' referenced from text segment
> can_access.o: Undefined symbol `___vfork14' referenced from text segment
> can_open.o: Undefined symbol `___vfork14' referenced from text segment
> dispaddr.o: Undefined symbol `_addr_matches_user' referenced from text segment
> tail_of.o: Undefined symbol `_addr_matches_user' referenced from text segment
> tail_of.o: Undefined symbol `_addr_matches_user' referenced from text segment
> *** Error code 1

What is miising or incorrect on my system?
The Makefile in pkgsrc/mail/elm appears to apply all the NetBSD patches ok
