Indeed, the OpenBSD style guide says to include only one of these two as
the first include.  That said, doing includes portably is a massive
headache, so actually doing this in all the source files is likely to
break something somewhere.

Anyway, I've committed a change of sys/types.h to sys/params.h for just
this test (similar to a couple of other tests in configure) which should
resolve the problem.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
