Just as a follow-up to this thread for the more general benefit, as portions 
went offline: it looks like the problem is that the compat32 support on the 
amd64 platform is using different include paths or include installs than is 
used for non-compat32 builds, resulting in libbsm under compat32 using the 
wrong include file (in contrib).  Since the contrib one differs from the base 
system one, due to some changes not yet merged to the FreeBSD kernel in the 
base system, it conflicts with src/sys/bsm, which contains the include files 
intended to be built as part of the base system.  I'm a little surprised that 
your change allows the base to continue to build, given that your "fix" didn't 
change src/sys/bsm, only the contrib tree.

So it sounds like we need to fix the compat32 build environment before your 
build fixes can be reverted.
