The time has come to fix it properly instead. Anything which these tools actually need from the kernel headers should be moved into a separate header file (still in the kernel source) which is usable from _both_ kernel and userspace.

Isn't this what linux-libc-headers is for?

It should use standard types (like uint16_t etc)

Why doesn't the kernel use these standard types also?
