Re: Bug#673431: libkvm-dev: kvm.h requires sys/types.h

No, headers can rely on <stddef.h> for size_t as usual.
It's just kvm.h which tries to be smart and define size_t on its own,
using the __size_t from kkh. But unlike FreeBSD we can't have
__size_t, because __size_t would break GCC << 4.7.
> I'm still confused why some of the kkh /tests/*.c include kern/sys/types.h
Well each test would have its own reasons. Which one do you have in mind?
