You can't use ino_t and off_t in public header files because of that

You can use it in public header files just fine, if you mean using it for
library ABIs, then you can use ino64_t or off64_t, which is certainly
cleaner than using uint64_t.
ino64_t isn't a standard type, either. It's available with _GNU_SOURCE
and others, but there still is a dependency on the actual CFLAGS picked
by the client code. At least it results in a compile error and not
corruption at run time, but it's still far from ideal.
