compilation failure on OS X 10.4 due to _POSIX_C_SOURCE

In rts/PosixSource.h various standards and extensions are enabled. This yields in sys/types.h on Darwin *not* defining u_* typedefs. The code however relies on this. This problem has been noted already, and hence a hack to define _DARWIN_C_SOURCE has been added which works on Darwin 9 and up.

On Darwin 8, however, this define doesn't exist in sys/types.h. Without wanting to change the u_*, I resorted to the rather hackish fix as attached, such that sys/types.h is included on Darwin before various standards are set, and hence the u_* types will disappear.
