One thing to note: there seems to be some fishy stuff in the bits headers we should check out, like whether blksize_t really needs to be "int" (it's long on other systems), explicit use of "unsigned int" instead of nlink_t without defining nlink_t to match, possibly-wrong sysvipc structures (it looks like the legacy ones are being used instead of the "64" ones, but I may be wrong), namespace issues in bits/signal.h, ...
