Typedefs aren't global objects, so the namespace pollution is much
less in this case.  And we already seem to use quite a few of
non-standard typedefs in standard functions (e.g. ffblk in
open/readdir).

However, the ANSI standard language seems to imply that the library 
implementation should not use any typedefs except those reserved by the 
standard, so I'm not sure.
