Summary

We need to provide a struct passwd that is compatible with the target
system and this is not the case when cross-building from macOS/Linux.
It should also be a problem when bootstrapping for an i386 target from a
FreeBSD amd64 host since time_t does not match across those systems.
However, pwd_mkdb always truncates integer values to 32-bit so this
difference does not result in different databases.

Does this want to be #include_next instead?

Unfortunately that doesn't work. Using a relative path ensures that the file from ${SRCTOP}/include is used.
