The problem is that on some systems (notably Linux) those typedefs will
already exist, possibly with different definitions.

I handled both the _{POSIX,XOPEN}_SOURCE and the __foo_t definitions
in os_defines.h, which gets included automatically everywhere first.
The downside is that the real foo_t definitions aren't available that
early, so I had to use "#define __foo_t foo_t" instead.

Happens all the time.  As long as the variables aren't referenced, they
don't need a correct definition.  For example, the generated libio Makefile
for my systems contains:

    DLLTOOL = @DLLTOOL@
    GCC_OBJDIR = @GCC_OBJDIR@
    GCJ = @GCJ@
    GCJFLAGS = @GCJFLAGS@
    LIBSTRINGOBJS = @LIBSTRINGOBJS@
    OBJDUMP = @OBJDUMP@
