I think they should, but I don't mind just suppressing the whole header by defining _UAPI_LIBC_COMPAT_H if that works for all kernel versions. It seems to; see: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/include/uapi/linux/libc-compat.h?id=cfd280c91253cc28e4919e349fa7a813b63e71e8 where the file was introduced.
