There's also __kernel_fd_set in <linux/posix_types.h>.  I may have
lumped this up with <asm/posix_types.h>, but it has the same problem.

Hmm.

That one we might be able to just fix by renaming "fds_bits" to "__fds_bits".

Unlike the "val[]" thing, I don't think anybody is supposed to access
those fields directly.

Well, glibc already calls it __val …

I think fd_set and friends are now supposed to be in <sys/select.h>
anyway, and the "it was in <sys/types.h>" is all legacy.

Do you suggest to create a <linux/select.h> header to mirror this?

Thanks,
