Hello,
thanks for the help. I was a bit psyched to notice that.
The reason why this error shows up is because I need a -D_POSIX_SOURCE 
added to CFLAGS in 
share/mk/bsd.sys.mk (this is a build for prep on AIX which defines sigval 
only for _POSIX_SOURCE in /usr/include/sys/signal.h)
But this results in an error (which someone from netbsd community knows 
how to fix).

Ahem - it's not complaining about "union" being unrecognized, but about 
the
union named "sigval" not being defined at that point.

Why it would do so, I don't know - I didn't build -current recently.
