Those two structures have the same size and the same field offsets.
Would you thumb your nose at a conversion of the style
whatever
aclXXX( __aclent16_t * acl)
{
__aclent32_t * acl32 = acl;
acl32->a_id &= 0x0000FFFF;
return (whatever) aclXXX32(acl32);
}
or would you insist on alloc and copying of everything
before and after calling the aclXXX32 function?
