redefinition of 'struct iovec' problem with new libc-ports

["Bridge Wu" <mingqiao dot wu at gmail dot com>]

Hello,

I checked out the latest libc-ports from cvs. I met building problem
when using it to build arm-linux toolchain. I used crosstool. The
error appeared at building glibc startfiles which are required by
shared libgcc. In detail, it appeared at compiling
glibc-2.4/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/init-first.c. The error is
redefinition error.

../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/uio.h:43: error: redefinition of 'struct iovec'

This is because fcntl.h added below code snippet. If I removed these
three lines, I can get the final toolchain successfully.

in ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/bits/fcntl.h:
#ifdef __USE_GNU
# include <bits/uio.h>
#endif

I'm not clear why this code snippet is needed? If I must use it, do I
miss anything else?
