I was referring to your implication that <sys/elf32.h> is broken because it
uses the less portable type, despite the fact that if someone has our elf32.h,
it should really only work with our complete set of headers, and therefore
they will have the appropriate types.

I probably just misunderstood you, or you said it off-handedly and forgot or
something.  My point was that our <sys/> headers aren't expected to be portable
with a set of host includes being used with them.

Thanks.
