As someone who builds libdrm with a non-gcc compiler, this bit
of drm.h fills my build logs with lots of noise - is it still
needed in the post-libc-unwrapped X server world? Can it just
become a simple #define DRM_SIZE_T size_t now? (Is that the
"real fix" referred to in the comment? If not, what is?)
/* This is beyond ugly, and only works on GCC. However, it allows me to use
* drm.h in places (i.e., in the X-server) where I can't use size_t. The real
* fix is to use uint32_t instead of size_t, but that fix will break existing
* LP64 (i.e., PowerPC64, SPARC64, IA-64, Alpha, etc.) systems. That *will*
* eventually happen, though. I chose 'unsigned long' to be the fallback type
* because that works on all the platforms I know about. Hopefully, the
* real fix will happen before that bites us.
