 [I hope toolchain is the right place]
 I was trying to built oleo. It asks for -D_XOPEN_SOURCE. 
[Oleo hasn't been updated since 1994, which is sad...]
 NetBSD's sys/types.h's does not define u_long in that case.
 This is 1.3.
 However, sys/stat.h defines prototypes that use u_long that
are not protected by _XOPEN_SOURCE. What to do? I'm not a Posix lawyer...
 Removing _XOPEN_SOURCE from the Makefile makes it better, but then
I run into other problems.
