Read after me:
ucblibs are evil, evil, evil...
Applications that doesn't compile without resorting to the ucblibs should either
be rewritten or ditched!
There are so many gotchas and mismatches between the standard libraries/include
files and the ucb stuff that is almost impossible to successfully get things to
work with them.
The type "DIR" in <dirent.h> and <sys/dir.h> is the first thing that comes to
mind, although it seems they are mostly fixed in 2.6.
