short uid/gid

[Vladimir B. Grebenschikov,Moscow,408-7227,123-4567,Some-info]

Hi

I have found that SysVIPC functions uses structure with short uid/gid types.

What is valid solution ?

Change types to uid_t/gid_t (but this will broke binary compatibility)
Change syscalls to old_* and add new with "right" structures,
or something else ?

struct ipc_perm {
        ushort  cuid;   /* creator user id */
        ushort  cgid;   /* creator group id */
        ushort  uid;    /* user id */
        ushort  gid;    /* group id */
        ushort  mode;   /* r/w permission */
        ushort  seq;    /* sequence # (to generate unique msg/sem/shm id) */
        key_t   key;    /* user specified msg/sem/shm key */
};
