Doesn't the 'x86_64-freebsd 10.1' target system have this 'sys/_types.h' 
in its standard C headers?

The '--without-headers' is insane with a system target like FreeBSD 
which has its own standard C library with
headers and library binaries.  Making a crosscompiler to a system target 
is nowadays a process where the
(earlier existing) native GCC is reproduced on some other host. The 
steps are :

1. choose a sysroot where to put the C headers and libraries for the 
target (usually in '/usr/include' and '/usr/lib'
    on the native target system)

2. copy them onto the sysroot, for example '$sysroot/usr/include' and 
'$sysroot/usr/lib' on the cross host

3. configure the GNU binutils and GCC using '--with-sysroot=$sysroot' to 
tell where the target stuff is on the
    cross host system. Build and install them, binutils first, GCC then...

4. be happy and try making a "Hello World" app for the target, compiling 
it on the cross host...

It may be 15 years since I myself made a crosscompiler to FreeBSD. At 
least for the Windoze host I'm using just
now :

F:\usr\local\bin>gcc-i486-freebsdelf -v
Reading specs from ..\lib\gcc-lib\i486-freebsdelf\2_95.3-1\specs
gcc version 2.95.3-1 20010315 (release)

But the "making a crosscompiler" process hasn't changed much from those 
days, the use of a sysroot is quite
new though...
