Yes, a lot has changed, but the ms-ole files haven't been touched 
for years, until today.  I've committed a change now; I'm pretty 
sure that without that change you'd get the same error.

It's not a matter of pickiness; I think it must be a matter of 
reorganization of the system header files.  If "caddr_t" is 
undefined any compiler is going to barf.  Apparently the 
definition of caddr_t must have been moved: previously it was 
getting picked up, now it's not.  Today's change was to explicitly

#include <sys/types.h>

in the hope of picking up the typedef.
