freebsd stable - Dec 2004 - sys/bitypes.h (4.10)?

I'm getting reports from a user who can't build a port on 4.10,
because his system has a <sys/bitypes.h> header which contains
definitions that collide with <sys/inttypes.h> and <sys/types.h>.

As far as I can tell, there is no <sys/bitypes.h> in 4.10.
In fact, I can't find this header file in the repository except as
a part of BIND, where it is provided as a compatibility header for
FreeBSD.  Did we ever install this?

Where is <sys/bitypes.h> from and is its presence normal or an
error?

I see a bitypes.h that ships with BIND (and is in src/contrib/bind), but
there isn't an independent FreeBSD version. I suspect someone or something
thought it'd be clever to sneak that in .. it should be OK to remove.
