Building R 2.3.0 fails under Red Hat 9.0 because

Inserting #include <sys/types.h> at the top of this

That's interesting: POSIX says it must be defined in unistd.h, and that is
included before sock.h in all the C files AFAICS (and this is why all the
Unix-alike platforms tested before release do compile that module).
It's a bug in RH9 (there seems to be no 9.0), and that is maintained by
Fedora Legacy -- do they have an update?
