But then, for libc6:

typedef __u_int __uid_t;                /* Type of user identifications.  */
typedef __u_int __gid_t;                /* Type of group identifications.  */

$ cat uid.c 
#include <sys/types.h>
int main(){
  printf("sizeof(uid_t)=%i\n",sizeof(uid_t));
}
$ gcc uid.c
$ ./a.out 
sizeof(uid_t)=4
