Subject: sys/types.h included multiple times when s-bsd4-2.h

I'm having trouble compiling nn patchlevel 10... I'm on s-bsd4-2.h
(which defines HAVE_MULTIGROUP), and sys/types.h is being included
twice: once outright in s-bsd4-2.h, and once by global.c, which
contains the following:

	#ifdef HAVE_MULTIGROUP
	#ifndef NGROUPS
	#include <sys/param.h>
	#endif
	...
	#endif

Unfortunately, my sys/param.h includes sys/types.h, which contains
typedefs and no guard against multiple inclusion.  Now, I could edit
sys/types.h, which I resist, or I could import NGROUPS into my config.h
or something (it's 8), or I could just forget about HAVE_MULTIGROUP in
s-bsd4-2.h.  I don't like any of these solutions, because they either
change what BSD distributes or what Kim Storm distributes.

Is there another alternative?
