But that is the very problem: There shouldn't be an assumption that
both side of the communication sit on the same OS, i.e. you need
one fully spelled out header, and that header ...

... needs to avoid using platform specific constructs (or making
other assumptions on the platform). I can only re-iterate: Please
follow the model other PV protocols already present (without
repeating their mistakes, if at all possible).
