Thanks.  With the output of the preprocessor, I was able to see
that uio.h also gets included by ioLib.h (non-standard header),
but vxTypes.h is only included through sys/types.h (posix
header).

Ugh.  The vxWorks header files include many of the standard and 
posix header files, but they also define many extensions (mostly 
unix-like things).  This means I either have to add a bunch more 
items to an extended posix library, or I have to let splint parse 
the header files.  If I let splint parse the header files, it 
chokes in environments where stdargs.h is provided by gcc 3.x.

Obviously, extending our local "posix" library is the correct 
choice, but that's not happening tonight. :)

Thanks for all your help.
