As two persons already asked, I didn't explain clearly enough ... ;).
The problem is that there is too many packages with common problem (for
DragonFly) - they don't include unistd.h, but compile regardless of that
on Linux, NetBSD and FreeBSD, seems. Many of such packages are C++. Maybe
there is something wrong with our compiler? Examples of such packages are
ham/fldigi, x11/nucleo and editors/notecase.
