I'm trying to get bash (bourne again shell) to compile under Xenix, and 
I've discovered something strange.

shell.c (past of bash) includes <sys/file.h>, but it's not so easy...
Error messages from cc say that 'struct inode' is undefined.  So I include
<sys/inode.h> before including <sys/file.h>.  Now the error messages say
that 'struct file' is undefined.  Sort of a recursive definition, but 
this is from gnu who's own name is recursively defined....do I need gcc?

<sys/file.h> needs 'struct inode' defined.  It is defined in <sys/inode.h>
<sys/inode.h> needs 'struct file' defined.  It is defined in <sys/file.h>

If anyone has run into this before, I'd like to hear from you!
	Thanks beforehand,
		simon.
