uClibc trunk build error

Hi,

I'm seeing a compile error with uClibc trunk (commit 60c1fe7,
"nptl/allocatestack.c: Fix stack mprotect") - ported to ARC architecture (with old
pthreads + no-legacy-syscall ABI)

The test case is extracted from a dated version of LTP open posix suite and it
simply involves
(1) #include signal.h
(2) build options -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L

#include <signal.h>

int main(void)
{
    return 0;
}

See the patch below to see the exact error:

The problem is happening because pthreadtypes.h doesn't ensure that all it's
dependencies are actually met
IMHO it's not an arch specific error, but a generic one, primarily triggered after
the following upstream commit
52029220899bc6, "bits/types.h: remove thread types, users should include pthread.h"

Please consider applying.

Thx,
-Vineet

Subject: [PATCH] libpthreads{,old}: Fix Build error

A user application built with -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L and
 #include signal.h, yields following compilation error:

------------------->8-----------------------------
arc-linux-uclibc-gcc -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L hello.c
In file included from
/opt/INSTALL/lib/gcc/arc-linux-uclibc/4.4.7/../../../../arc-linux-uclibc/sys-include/signal.h:429,
                 from hello.c:1:
/opt/INSTALL/lib/gcc/arc-linux-uclibc/4.4.7/../../../../arc-linux-uclibc/sys-include/bits/pthreadtypes.h:48:
error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'size_t'
------------------->8-----------------------------

The fix is to make sure size_t is explicitly provided to pthreadtype.h
