Yeah, I complained about something similar a while ago. And recently
talked to Boqun about this as well,

Bindgen *could* in theory 'compile' the inline C headers into (unsafe)
Rust, the immediate problem is that Rust has a wildly different inline
asm syntax (because Rust needs terrible syntax or whatever).

Boqun said it should all be fixable, but is a non-trivial amount of
work.
