I have a fix for this which seems to have missed the original commit.

I did use LCC to compile much of the NetBSD tree, unless it used
bitfields (which the ip header files use).  LCC has stricter
type-checking than GCC, which is useful.

In the end I conceded that the NetBSD header files are GCC-specific.
And the windy maze of header files looked too dangerous for me to
tinker with.
