Hi!

Having included the two files

#include <cstdlib_mach.h>
#include <pwd.h>

and using the MSL libraries by

#define _MSL_USING_MW_C_HEADERS 1

leads to the error

Error : illegal function overloading
pwd.h line 123 char *user_from_uid(uid_t, int);

Remark: in cstdlib_mach.h the function declaration reads
char* user_from_uid(unsigned long, int);

Is there any workaround?

in cstdlib_mach.h

change

char *user_from_uid(unsigned long, int);

to
//char *user_from_uid(unsigned long, int);
char *user_from_uid(unsigned int, int);

since a long and an int are the same 32 bit it shouldn't matter.
