There is no OS to fix. I was talking about the GNU "autoconf" toolkit,
the one that builds the popular "configure" shell script. It's standard
macro AC_CHECK_TYPE, which is used to see if the system has a particular
type defined, works like this (from it's info file):

 - Macro: AC_CHECK_TYPE (TYPE, DEFAULT)
     If the type TYPE is not defined in `sys/types.h', or `stdlib.h' or
     `stddef.h' if they exist, define it to be the C (or C++) builtin
     type DEFAULT; e.g., `short' or `unsigned'.

My point was just that this doesn't work as expected on glibc 2.2:
AC_CHECK_TYPE(in_port_t, unsigned short int)
