The BSD libc setups have this; it is a POSIX required file. At least some
of the current releases have some... interesting quirks, depending on the
(non|)existance of some #defines (_POSIX_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE), but that
is entirely an implementation detail. The types are there. (And most of
the quirks are fixed in the updated source trees).
