>Description:

According to:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/types.h.html

#include <sys/types.h>
should include the definitions of pthread types.
This was reported by Brooks Davis:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-threads/2005-March/002951.html

FreeBSD's <sys/types> currently does not do this, breaking compilation of some
software like GridEngine.  Creating a new private <sys/_pthreadtypes.h>
header file which is included by <sys/types.h> and <pthread.h>
should solve this problem.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
