Patches like this don't help me much.  You can send a bug report
(preferrably to zephyr-bugs rather than zephyr) which says, "it
doesn't compile on BSD/OS because of this and this and this is how I
worked around it," but I'm not going to include operating system
#ifdefs like that in an autoconf'd source tree.

Not to mention they're just plain bizarre: do you really need
<rpc/types.h> to get INADDR_LOOPBACK on a BSD/OS machine?  It's not
even a vaguely RPC-related constant.  And setpgid(0, getpgrp()) is a
no-op.
