Hi!

Compiling

/-----
| #include <net/if.h>
|
| int main() {
| }
\-----

with gcc -ansi

results in a

/usr/include/net/if.h:94:17: error: field ʽifi_lastchangeʼ has incomplete type

Seen in tcos build

(On stock FreeBSD,) net/if.h provides a few functions such as if_nametoindex(3); the synopsis of that man page lists:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <net/if.h>

which seems to indicate that these first two headers are required to be included before net/if.h itself, which would seem to make this "programmer error". Perhaps this should be reassigned to tcos? (Though the bsd folks should be kept in the loop regardless, I should think.)

(Sorry, the kFreeBSD box that I do dev work on is unavailable at the moment for me to check.)
