Hello,

Once in a while, while building certain packages, I get a conflict between
the definition of _fd_set in select.h and _fd_set in types.h , when a
package imports both headers at the same time and uses _fd_set. I must
comment one or the other out. Is there a better way to resolve this
conflict?

In select.h there appears to be an empty struct definition for 'timeval'.
Packages therefore that refer to 'timeval' sometimes report an error, that
it's size is unknown.
