Well, it is a 5.1 I am using... Google tells me the python developpers had
that same problem with _XOPEN_SOURCE and _POSIX_C_SOURCE defined and added
__BSD_VISIBLE. In /usr/include/sys/types.h, the u_short typedef is
following a #if __BSD_VISIBLE and /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h does not define
__BSD_VISIBLE when using _XOPEN_SOURCE.

Now as to why it worked for you...
