Problems with compiling struct fd_set -- storage size isn't known

The following test program is causing me problems under 2.0.4:

#include <sys/types.h>

int main() {
struct fd_set a;
}

When I try to compile it, I get:

thirteen:~# gcc -o test test.c
test.c: In function `main':
test.c:4: storage size of `a' isn't known

This program compiles cleanly under kernel 2.0.0.

Am I doing something wrong, or has something been broken?
