 This has the following benefits.

 1. It ensures compatibility between the standard and libbsd network stack
 at user API level.

 2. These files may be used by lwIP to provide the standard API.

 3. It allows 3rd party code depending only on the POSIX network headers to
 build without RTEMS, e.g. GCC Ada, Go and Cilk Plus languages, libressl
 library etc. Allows build of libraries per multilib.
