>Description:
	
	Compiling net/if.h with the c++ compiler.  The problem is that
	if.h uses a structure called if_data, which is not declared as 
	a global structure to the file.
>How-To-Repeat:
%m %/-> cat i.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <net/if.h>

main()
{
}
%m %/-> cc i.c
%m %/-> c++ i.c
In file included from i.c:4:
/usr/include/net/if.h:237: field `ifm_data' has incomplete type
%m %/-> exit
