And I see no point in breaking compatibility with FreeBSD for really no reason, especially when the GNU/kFreeBSD port makes uses of FreeBSD parts for low-level stuff. (And this issue has nothing to do with "23 year old compilers", but it's about the C standard used.) We have and still are uploading KDE 4.10.x (currently .2) pieces to experimental, and so far this issue has caused build issues in kde4libs, libkcompactdisc, kde-workspace. KDE compiles fine on FreeBSD and it did with previous versions of sys/mount.h on GNU/kFreeBSD, so I expect it to continue to do so. GNU/kFreeBSD porters, can you please take a look at this?
