Here's what happens:

One of the Gnulib modules includes sys/types.h, which includes 
sys/select.h because of the recent changes.  This brings in Gnulib's 
sys/select.h, which includes signal.h.  We then get the errors I posted 
because we haven't yet finished including sys/types.h.

All the build errors disappear if I remove '#include <sys/select.h>' 
from sys/types.h.  You said above that the macros related to select 
don't really belong in sys/types.h.  So why does the latter include 
sys/select.h?
