In order to be compatible, we would also need to have header files called
<u.h> and <libc.h> [1], which we don't have.

Plan9 compatibility has never been a goal for gnulib, and Plan9 is not one
of the portability targets for gnulib.

If you really want recvfd(int) and recvfd2(int,int), then please submit a patch
relative to the current gnulib contents, taking care of details - tabs, typos,
unused variables, gcc -Wall warnings, etc. all being fixed.
