[m-users.] "posix" extra library won't compile

[Volker Wysk]

Hi

I'm trying to compile the "posix" library, which is distributed in extras/, 
and get error messages from the compiler:

cd /usr/local/src/mercury-srcdist-rotd-2019-01-03/extras/posix
mmc --make libposix

posix.select.m:049: Error: This declaration for type `fdset_ptr'/0 says it is
posix.select.m:049:   private, while the previous declaration says it is
posix.select.m:049:   exported.
posix.select.m:021:   The previous declaration was here.

After fixing this in the code and trying again, I get more errors:

Making Mercury/os/posix.open.o

                 from /usr/local/mercury-rotd-2019-01-03/lib/mercury/inc/

Could this be a compiler version problem...? Any chances to get this fixed 
soon?
