i don't know one on my side.
It's difficult to say who do what, and especially when including some of
a third part software (does any version of OSS copy or not its headers
files in /usr/src/sys ? Sure the 3.99 doesn't, but the others ?).
Well, perhaps could you handle this error including youself the required
headers when OSS is in use : the user specific OSSLIBDIR path is
recorded in /etc/oss.conf like a shell var. eg:
OSSLIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/oss and the src header files reside in :
${OSSLIBDIR}/include/sys/
Perhaps including some #IFDEF FBSD_OSS in your own files, FBSD_OSS being
set to YES by user at compile time.
I think it's an end-user issue.
Logically, OSS cannot install himself its files because it will
overwrite the FreeBSD original distrib (like 'soundcard.h' for example).
