Changing these two users of typeof makes the compiler happy and no extra
flags or pragmas need to be provided.

The build system uses "c_std=gnu99". If you are extracting libvhost-user and not using its build files, you need to add --std=gnu99 yourself when compiling.

If you really don't want to do that, as long as it's just a couple underscores that's fine I guess, but mixed declarations and code are going to reappear sooner or later. Please add a patch like this:

 threads = dependency('threads')
 glib = dependency('glib-2.0')


to avoid regressions, and likewise for libvduse.
