This isn't right. The shorthand format is sometimes used when there's no off(64)_t involved, e.g. in memfd_create(2).

Fair enough. Let's improve that wording to:

This format is employed when the feature test macros ensure that the proper function declarations are visible, and the macros are not defined by default.

Revised patch attached. If this wording is still not clear enough, please feel free to suggest better wording.

Thanks for the v3 patch, Paul.  I like it.  Would you mind resending it
inline, to make it easier to quote-reply to it, in case anyone wants
to discuss anything?  Does anyone oppose to this patch, and wants to
propose an alternative patch?

Cheers,
Alex
