I want to use the user-visible kernel fixed-sized types.
You absolutely must eat this for the existing ABIs such as
rtnetlink and netlink.

Agreed! I'm saying that, if the headers are user-visible, the headers should be using the standard fixed-size types that work on all compilers: uint<size>_t C99 defines these.


The C standard defines fixed-size types, and these headers deviate from the C standard. __u64 is a gcc-specific type.
