Your too late, though.  They already did it.

It is in relased versions of gcc, the now frozen version of glibc
which will be relased in a couple of weeks or so and, AIUI, llvm.

Linux distributions, at least, have ports for x32.

And the porting effort wasn't huge.  The vast majority of pacakges
build w/o m32-specific patches.

Had our code been updated to use stdint when available, it wouldn't
have needed patches either.

The differences between the m64 and mx32 are tiny: 32 vs 64 bits
for longs and pointers.  At the C level, you look for __amd64__ 
and either __LP64__ or __ILP32__.

All we can do is respond to it.  Which is why I pushed Sergei's patch.

Whether !defined(__ILP32__) or defined(__LP64__) is the better test
for 64 bit longs is really the only question.
