When GLIBC doesn't provide it's own definition of some networking

Recently I got a problem when copying a structure from kernel to userspace, after debugging I found:

kernel:   include/linux/inet.h

#define INET6_ADDRSTRLEN        (48)

glibc:  /usr/include/netinet/in.h

#define INET6_ADDRSTRLEN 46


Any reason to differentiate them from each other?
