It looks to me like xdr_uint32_t is the preferred name,
because it is more descriptive.
If so, can you do something like this instead?
#define xdr_uint32_t xdr_u_int
or use a typedef?
TBH xdr_u_int is the preferred type in XDR itself. xdr_uint32_t etc
is an invention of glibc. Nevertheless xdr_u_int is guaranteed always
to be an unsigned 32 bit integer.
