I wouldn't change that. illumos is selecting the old pre-standard
declaration here, but it knows the standard one:

https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/27ecbff00d8c86a2647d6fe325cacb220d712115/usr/src/uts/common/sys/shm.h#L129
https://illumos.org/man/2/shmdt

I don't know why we have only one tiny issue if the system headers
think we want pre-POSIX stuff. I wonder if the particular header has
incorrect guarding, but I don't know how that is supposed to work.
