One of us is not understanding the other, I'm sure of that :-)
Both dirent.h and sys/types.h are from glibc, not from the kernel.
What I think is the problem is an inconsistency. If glibc defines
DT_WHT on dirent.h, shouldn't it also define S_IFWHT on types.h ?
As far as I can tell, ditent.h comes from glibc/dirent/dirent.h,
and types.h comes from glibc/posix/sys/types.h.
