It would of course be much simpler to use size_t, uint32_t, etc. as appropriate. All the types in ELF are either always-8-bit, always-16-bit, always-32-bit, or system wordsize (size_t)... It's really ridiculous how much code is considered arch-specific in the glibc and uclibc dynamic linkers. If you look at mine in musl (admittedly less featureful, but most of the omissions are not in platform-specific areas), there are only about 30 lines of platform-specific code in the dynamic linker (and even those mainly exist just because ELF has separate R_$ARCH_xxx relocations for each arch rather than unifying the ones with the same behavior needs).
