  That's all very well, but are you actually building for an ARM linux
system?  If you aren't, you can't use those headers, but should be 
using newlib, probably; if you are, then surely 'linux' should be in the
--target somewhere?

  Well, it's got confused: it expects to have a definition of __sigset_t,
from newlib or glibc; I guess the linux headers don't have it.

  Are you building for a Linux system or a non-Linux system?  If you're
building for a non-linux system, what are you planning to use for a 
standard C library?
