I'm wondering: do our supported build host platforms all include compilers that are new enough to let us redefine typedefs?
The ability to redefine typedefs is a C11 feature which would be very useful for simplifying our QOM boilerplate code. The feature is supported by GCC since 2011 (v4.6.0)[1], and by clang since 2012 (v3.1)[2].
