No files include pcap_dos.h.  Look at any file in libpcap, _U_ must
be defined on the command line.  Or change every file to include
sys/cdefs.h first; which probably is the correct answer but may be
a maintenance problem.

The compiler support should probably be added in bsd.own.mk in the same
way as the gcc stuff is.
