Ok I will use __WORDSIZE and HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME where appropriate.
However I suspect that use of #ifdefs for architectures is not always a
sin. Two examples come to mind:
./stdlib/longlong.h
./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h
Then there are the various forms of wordsize.h on architectures that
support both 32- and 64-bit. How else will __WORDSIZE get set correctly?
Are these the only exceptions?

Still fighting with my editor setting and learning when tabs are permitted
