I could reproduce the same build failure in this version with
-fpermissive

The problem is a '#define off_t long', which causes a problem later when
GNU/kFreeBSD headers include <sys/types.h> (again), and try to redefine
off_t for some reason.

That only happens because HAVE_OFF_T isn't being set in config.h.  In
fact it is hard-coded to 0 by default and set to 1 on certain supported
platforms such as Mac OS X (in rubyconfigure.h).

Linux headers presumably don't redefine off_t so it doesn't usually
matter.


With the patch below, then running:

$ aclocal-1.10 && autoheader && autoconf

implements a proper detection for off_t and it builds now on
kfreebsd-amd64.  Also it still builds okay and runs on GNU/Linux amd64.
