Hi Sylvain,
I didn't realize it when you responded, but <sys/_types.h> is a toolchain
problem, and you just nailed it.
Cool:)
Early on, before it was pointed to me to use the Getting Started wiki, I
used the src/README.building file,
which is a normal practice for all unix developers/admins. When I couldn't
find the
gnuarm.com toolchain, I searched the web
for ubuntu toolchains and found the linaro one, gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi,
which doesn't provide <sys_types.h>.
No dev version either:(
So, when using that toolchain, I had to come up with the missing
<sys/_types.h>, and the only one I could find
was from vivado:(
Is there a point to my life's story? Just to pont out into how much
problems one can get with the wrong README file.
I realize that building procedure must be defined and maintained in 1
place, either the wiki or the README file.
The wiki is a non standard unix location, but a more convenient one. I
propose to fix the info in README.building,
to avoid future issues. The fix can be as simple as "Prerequisite is the
armel toolchain. Check the <wiki url> for installation"

Thx Sylvain,
For your fast response.
This turned out not to be the problem, since I did several times make
clean & make distclean, after I created the toolchain, before posting:)
But your response helped, in that this isn't a usual problem. Therefore
smt in my setup.
Turned out problem was in my CPPFLAGS include dir.
Early on, I faced a few problems with missing include files. 1 in
particular <sys/_types.h> was nowhere in my system other than in Xilinx
vivado,
under /gcc-arm-none-eabi/.
Once I removed it from CPPFLAGS osmocom-bb compiled fine (with a few
warnings)
Problem solved:)

I've
been following the installation directions from the wiki, Getting
Started.
After generating the arm-none-eabi toolchain, I proceeded with make.
My guess is you first tried compiling without an arm toolchain
installed and then installed the arm toolchain and didn't do a 'make
clean' when retrying.
Cheers,
Sylvain
