Description:
- sys/sem.h has included sys/ipc.h, which includes sys/_types.h
but it (and its including files) does not include sys/types.h
- therefore, in sys/sem.h struct semid_ds declares "time_t sem_otime;" ...etc
- if we only compile a program which do not include sys/types.h, it will fail.
Including sys/types.h would add lots of namespace pollution which
sys/ipc.h and sys/sem.h are trying hard to avoid. sem.h is trying too
hard -- POSIX requires it to declare time_t (and pid_t, key_t and size_t,
which it already declares).
