For starters this should be listed under standards, not kern.
Second off, FreeBSD hasn't made a real effort to implement XSI
streams, so I don't think that this really should be `fixed', but
instead glibc should be adapted to work without XSI streams on
FreeBSD, because regardless of whether or not the data type is
defined, if the libcall can't function properly when calling the
kernel interfaces, having an additional set of datatypes is
essentially superfluous support.
Thanks,
