I ran into this same error with NetBSD (is this the same as FreeBSD?).
The problem is in NetBSD's /usr/include/sys/select.h.  It should include
<sys/types.h> to get the typedef for pid_t.  Since I don't have control of
the system we're on, I modified my-sys-time.h to do the include just before
the include of select.h (line 24 in the original my-sys-time.h):

	#if NEED_SELECT_H
	#  include <sys/types.h>
	#  include <sys/select.h>
	#endif

Unrelated, I also found that I needed to modify the generated Makefile
to add "-lcrypt" to the LIBRARIES line to get the moo executable to link.
