Note that this is a quality-of-implementation issue, not a standards
conformance one (since sys/types.h is a POSIX header, not ISO C, and POSIX
reserves all *_t type names when any header is included). But since glibc
generally tries to avoid defining such types when the relevant standard
isn't enabled (just as, for example, declarations of str* functions are
appropriately conditioned in string.h even though such names are reserved
by ISO C), this should be fixed consistently with how glibc generally
handles such issues.
