Thanks, yeah. Any idea why they still do this instead of switching to `uintptr_t`?

  Afaik the kernel is built as C89 and uintptr_t was introduced in C99.

    Damn. I'd have they they could just typedef it manually, but interesting, thanks.

      It's not even about how the kernel is built. The userspace-side system call declarations need to be #include-able in C89 user code, so they can't use C99 types.
