uclibc and glibc define getuid() as extern __uid_t getuid (void) __THROW; https://elixir.bootlin.com/glibc/glibc-2.34/source/posix/unistd.h#L698 which is a typedef for unsigned int. musl uses uid_t as return type uid_t getuid(void); https://elixir.bootlin.com/musl/v1.2.2/source/include/unistd.h#L108 which is a typedef to unsigned. glibc and uclibc include typedefs from __uid_t to uid_t, which means one should be able to use uid_t as a replacement for __uid_t and make compiling with all three c standard libraries possible.
