Summary

On Linux with musl, sys/cdefs.h isn't included with fcntl.h, so when we
use BEGIN_DECL and END_DECL in this file, it fails. There's no harm
in unconditionally including sys/cdefs.h here, so do that to avoid
encoding exactly where it is or isn't needed so we don't have to know
too much about the internal state of other libc implementations.

I was slow to get to reviewing these over the weekend, but this feels like it should be in tools/build/cross-build/include/linux/fcntl.h (which does already exist)

tools/build/fcntl.h

I thought that at first but landed here due to proximity.

What's your thinking on the way you suggest? What makes that a better place?

tools/build/fcntl.h

Confines the bits that aren't needed on FreeBSD to somewhere out the way. Helps to declutter FreeBSD sources / avoid the ugliness spreading too far, and more clearly signposts why they're there (this looks redundant on FreeBSD, so you'd have to consult git to find out). Not such a big deal in this case compared to a lot of the cross-build hacks as it's just a lone include, but I'd like to keep it principled.

(I mean, the comment addresses the signposting of course, but having it in a directory that says linux in it makes it somewhat self-documenting :))
