This is a bug in glibc: they removed major/minor from unistd.h into sys/sysmacros.h but
made some mistakes.
I had a very weird compilation error when I added sys/types.h high in my 1003.xs file. Totally strange, so the cause was hard to find. When I moved it down in the XS file, the
errors disappeared. That's what took me so long to respond.
I was planning to rewrite POSIX-1003 using Config::AutoConfig, but due to the my refusal
to accept the "Code of Conduct" for Perl conferences I will withdraw from the public Perl
community. I'll probably not release new modules to the public, but will continue to
maintain what already is on CPAN.
I have moved POSIX-1003 development to github and made a new release. Based on the
cpantesters reports, I may be able to find-out which glibc versions were broken in
this respect. I do accept pull-requests as well ;-)
