Attached are two version of the updated patch.
The first one is how it should look like at the end (well,
with Roland's Implies change bits/wordsize.h headers could stay where
they are and sparc wordsize.h headers could move up one level),
the second one is alternative patch which doesn't change anything for x86
and other unaffected architectures (with the exception of utmpdump.c change).
Note that struct lastlog hasn't been changed in the original patch but
it has the same problem as struct utmp and struct utmpx.
I haven't changed s390x, but IMHO it is better to recompile the affected
apps now in the /usr/lib -> /usr/lib64 transition which changes most
of the things anyway, than to suffer forever.
