I don't know about the code base of RTEMS you "harvested", but there had
been quite some amount of work related to fixing this in recent months.

The same applies here, but ... 

... many still have not yet been caught, e.g. libmisc/network-drivers
and a general confusion wrt. "sized types" (at least 3 or more
concurrent "sized-types systems"(BSD, POSIX, RTEMS, and various local
hacks), coming to my mind.

... now you know why I will continue to insist on "strictly named
types".
