I think that POSIX reserves all identifiers defined with a typedef statement
that that end with the characters "_t" for use within the POSIX header files.
I note that the GDB source code uses a lot a such identifiers. Should
we change to another suffix such as "_td" and document that requirement
in the GDB coding rules within file 'gdbint.texinfo'?

Um, why?
POSIX says a lot of things that are well, dumb.
This is just one of them.
Besides, GDB is not beholden to POSIX.
When the C 'XX standard says not to do it, we'd probably stop doing it.
