Description
When building xinetd on Haiku I am getting lots of warnings for sys/resource.h line 17 empty declaration. This was with gcc2, may or may not show up with gcc4, as I haven't checked that yet.

I tracked this down in xinetd, it seems that the generated config.h had the offending line in it:
#define rlim_t long long
I've updated the .bep file to dnl the line in configure.in that was adding this in. I'm assuming this to be an invalid ticket? Or is there a better way to write the typedef so that it works even if rlim_t gets redef'd as long long?

Replying to scottmc:

The header could theoretically #ifdef everything it defines, but that's just silly. The header is supposed to typedef that type and whoever tries to redefine it does something unportable.
The line has changed since alpha 2 (hrev34214), but it was a typedef back then still is now. I'm not even sure what "empty declaration" is supposed to mean. The exact error message as well as a pre-processed version of the compiled file might help.
