Short history:

You make a change which breaks the ABI for all platforms for over 
2 weeks. We fixed it for all platforms.
Now you remove the fix for all platfroms and makes a ix86 specific
solution, the ABI for all other platfroms are broken again.
Then you say, the port maintainer should fix it again.

Could you please explain me, why you break it for other platforms,
if the port maintainer should make the changes ? Then make it correct 
and make the changes only for the ix86 platform and wait until the
port maintainer makes the necessary changes. The current solution
is not Ok.
