We went through this exact same issue about six weeks ago, the problem
being that pchar (a network measurement utility I wrote) needed the
CMSG_* macros and started failing to build under 4.0-CURRENT. (I
needed these macros for IPv6.)
I lost track of the discussion for several reasons, but you can check
the -current mailing list archives (look for CMSG_NXTHDR or some such
thing like this). According to a very quick perusal of the CVS
repository, it hasn't been solved yet. (i.e. FreeBSD still requires
<sys/param.h> for CMSG_* to work properly.)
Yoshinobu Inoue <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is probably the best person
to ask for more information on this.
