On what asm-generic platform does __SWORD_TYPE != __fsword_t ? My earlier analysis a few minutes ago suggested that was true only for alpha and x32, neither of which use the linux/generic code in glibc.
Aarch64:ILP32 will use linux/generic and will have SWORD_TYPE != __fsword_t just like x32. Basically this patch set goes on top of my already submitted patch set.
Thanks,
Andrew
