Complete backwards compatibility is needed for desktop systems only, where users mix different precompiled software versions. There, on i386 and probably others, we already have 32 bit enums. Maybe they are even larger on 64 bit systems. If the size of an enum changes on an embedded platform like ARM, because the kernel headers changed, then it is very likely that the userspace software will be recompiled, too.
