I don't like this fix, for two reasons:

 * The patch is not upstreamable.

 * It works around the problem, living a potentially problematic
   libbsd.pc installed which can be used by other packages than lldpd.

Isn't the right solution to add support in pkg-config to mungle
-isystem flags?

Thanks,

Thomas
