Here's part of an article I posted recently to gnu.g++.  This is
something that helped me bring up a number of packages more easily on
386/ix 2.0.2.  If someone could check and see if this is valid for ESIX
and 386/ix 2.2 I'd appreciate it.

IMHO the better way to do this is to just modify sys/types.h as follows

#ifndef SYS_TYPES
<original file contents>
#define SYS_TYPES
#endif

This will have the same effect as your fix for sioctl.h (types.h will be
included twice, but the second time it will be an empty file), and avoid the
problem of finding all the places that might include types.h twice.
