I don't think the names of structures matters for ABI compatibility --
if I have a header with
struct foo {
int a;
int b;
};
void blah(struct foo *z);
then a binary compiled against that will still work even if I later
change the name of struct foo so I have:
stuct bar {
int c;
int d;
};
void blah(struct bar *z);
after all the layout of struct foo and struct bar are the same.
