1) I don't plan _emulate_ SysV with this change, only save porters
work time.
2) We already _emulate_ SysV (IBCS2 stuff), so FreeBSD almost == SysV :-)

That I mean when say that this infection is de-facto standard. All
commecrial vendors and even MSDOS C Compilers have this file.
We can have different emotions about this file, but we can't
negate its existance. I was agree with you until I done several
ports myself and really tired edit every C file to undef this file.
If you try to port few Linux things yourself, you understand me :-)
