Different compilers can make the enum different widths, which means the structure is only binary compatible with the glibc library if the application code is compiled with a compiler that makes the enum the same width as did the compiler that was used to compile glibc. I think we (probably Eric) should contact the glibc maintainers to point this out and ask if they will agree to change the "type" structure member to int, as shown in the man page. (I don't see any problem with using int in a structure, and we have many such uses already; if an implementation supports multiple programming environments where int has different widths, then it needs multiple copies of the C library, one for each programming environment.)
