 I did. I compared my current fcntl.h and the file you posted above with 
 the diff tool.
 As far as I could see there were only indentation difference.
 To be sure I made a backup of my current fcntl.h and replaced it with 
 the content from your file.
 I also did a "make clean" and deleted firefox*.tbz in 
 /usr/ports/distfiles. Still the same error. :(

 You mean like caused by freebsd-update? Or any port? Should I rebuild 
 all my ports?
 I noticed that the error occurs also while building mail/thunderbird and 
 database/sqlite3.
