I wouldn't be too worried:

typedef uint8_t flag;
typedef uint8_t uint8;
typedef int8_t int8;
typedef int uint16;
typedef int int16;
typedef unsigned int uint32;
typedef signed int int32;
typedef uint64_t uint64;
typedef int64_t int64;

So adding _t suffixes in appropriate places should be a no-op, except
for uint16/int16--and those types are never used.
