Looks like a bug in the old include files vs newer kernel includes. The
1.2.13 kernel source has:
./include/linux/types.h:typedef unsigned int speed_t;

If you upgrade to libc 5.4.x, you should have a newer termcap.h that just
defines ospeed as

extern short ospeed;

Why whas the type changed and the typedef removed from the kernel source?
