Thank you for pointing out docs, I completely forgot on this page.
BTW it needs some update (examples use old API, linux_syscall_numbers.h).
Also not sure if everything else still applies (4. Call APIs that don't require
freeing up resources on failure first, 2. Sort headers).

Jan, are you aware of this problem?
Xu, I'm not sure if you're talking about uint64_t problematic in <linux/types.h>
(as you mention kernel) or problem in glibc <sys/types.h> / <stdint.h> / <inttypes.h>?
We have lots of code which is using some of these 3 libc headers, does it fail
on 2.6.32?

Does anybody compile for 2.6.32?
I know we want to keep support for 2.6.x (we had some discussion in the past).
Than it'd be good to have travis build for kernel 2.6.x.

Back to patchset. I suggest to merge it as it is and I'll prepare patches, which
use <sys/types.h> in our tests.

Kind regards,
Petr
