Attachments: use pid_t instead of __pid_t

Description Valentin Ochs 2011-04-08 23:10:10 UTC 
Created attachment 5657 [details]
use pid_t instead of __pid_t

When trying to compile binutils with the musl libc [1], compilation fails because bfd/hosts/x86-64linux.h uses __pid_t instead of pid_t. Patching this is trivial, but annoying, and the author of musl said that he's 'not willing to add reserved-namespace type aliases to support broken applications that should be using the correct public type names.'

The attached patch includes a fix.
