...and I think that this set of headers and this hack library should be named glibc, but only iff _LINUX_SOURCE is defined. (Or this magic hack enabler should be _LINUX_I_PROMISE_I_KNOW_I_AM_DOING_BAD_THING, if you prefer. But it still should be right there in glibc.)
BTW it might be nice to introduce some kind of __s8, __s16 etc on all glibc systems. So that we do not have _every_ application working with network have to autoconfigure for them.
