Nice work! Now we'll have sys/types.h, which will simplify the port to
many trivial programs that had to use it (as well as the few others of
course, but that one really stands out during tests). And I do appreciate
that we can continue to include everything at once using -include nolibc.h
without having to care for such details.

Thanks!
