It's indeed supposed to work this way. headers/posix/* are Haiku's headers, 
while the bfs_shell is built for the host platform and thus must use the host 
platform's headers. ATM, I have no idea, why defining _GNU_SOURCE doesn't 
cause the LLONG_* macros to be defined on some Linux distros. glibc has been 
providing this feature for years.

I suppose we do. But that's Marcus' domain.
