sudo 1.8.12 fails to build on both uclibc and musl systems because sudo_compat.h makes reference to uid_t and gid_t but does not include <sys/types.h>. Because of the way the headers stack in glibc it works there but not in uclibc or musl. Actually 1.8.13 *does* build but its still missing <sys/types.h> in the appropriate places and could break again if upstream moves things around. I've alerted upstream and it has been fixed in the hg repo. See the url for the thread. See below for the final error message during the build of 1.8.12. Also note I've added sudo-9999.ebuild to the tree for future testing.

This bug is here to alert people because it has been resolved upstream and I have tested their fix.
(In reply to Anthony Basile from comment #1) if upstream has committed a patch, feel free to backport it to the stable version

I double and triple tested because I don't want to break a stable ebuild.
