Re: binding to libc's stats() using alien

[Sebastien Lai <237482@...>]

Most of them are typedef'd to 'unsigned int' (or 'unsigned long int'),
so it might be worth a try to replace the *_t types with 'unsigned
int'.

It is, however, wise to check the headerfiles for the actual typedef
definition of those types.
