i think the policy hasn't changed since

note that utmpx.h is defined in posix (part of the XSI option)
and UT_ is not reserved prefix for it so even the UT_LINESIZE
is a namespace violation (although a rather harmless one)

i attach a current list of namespace violations in musl based on
http://port70.net/~nsz/c/posix/reserved.txt

note that updwtmp is just a stub so this logwtmp does not do much
