Remove or change the lseek() prototype. It probably uses 'long',
or if the app is really old 'int', but freebsd uses a 64 bit ofs_t.

It is /really/ annoying when a programmer feels that he can
redefine libc routines in private headers. They should have
concentrated on getting their #include's right to begin with.

Send to above in a bug report in the 'ports' category, and cc
the author. It is a programming error, and if lseek() is provided
as a prototype, it will result in the application misbehaving.
