Thanks for that Laurent,
For some reason, the skalibs install only over-wrote a few of the
previous skalib header files but not unix-transactional.h. Erasing
them all and rebuilding skalibs fixed the s6-rc build problem.
Unfortunately, I tried to reboot without rebuilding mdevd and got a
invalid fd error (04). I'll work on that but will I also have to redo
s6-linux-init etc?
