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));
> int      setreuid __P((uid_t, uid_t));
> void     swab __P((const void *, void *, size_t));
> int      symlink __P((const char *, const char *));
> void     sync __P((void));
> int      truncate __P((const char *, off_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

What is missing or incorrect on my system? Do I have an incorrect unistd.h? I
have supped all the -current sources and built a kernel using them which works
fine apart from some problems with the shutdown procedure and silo overflows on
com0, but they are probably an arm32 specific problem.

The Makefile in pkgsrc/mail/elm appears to apply all the NetBSD patches ok.

Any help would be  appreciated ;~)
cheers,
Dave
