/*

 */
struct iovec {
        char    *iov_base;      /* Base address. */
        size_t   iov_len;       /* Length. */
};

Same on FreeBSD 4.x.

NetBSD, OpenBSD and (newer) FreeBSD it is void *iov_base;

(I have now asked the DragonFly list about this to see if we can get it 
fixed there. Someone already submit a patch for this I see.)

On at least DragonFly, the wiki and build.sh is broken since it will use 
the old libX11. (The git version has the update for DragonFly.)

Thanks for your reply and help.
