You can do that in your own sources. But for gnulib, I would say it's
bloat to define a module for nothing more than a typedef. Especially for
a type that you can just as well spell out everywhere:

  extern void my_sort (void *, size_t, size_t,
                       int (*) (const void *, const void *));
