>Description:
The sys/uio.h header file exposes struct uio to userland programs.
This contains a struct proc which causes problems when building certain
userland applications: for example gawk 3.1.0, because it #define's proc
for its own use.
No standards that I found require anything other than a struct iovec
in uio.h, but ipf needs it, and vmstat, ktrace, kdump and ktruss need the
enums. On the other hand, they don't seem to exclude additional structures.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get gawk-3.1.0, try to compile.
>Fix:
Not sure yet, investigating.
