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.

OK, thanks.  But presumably this won't work right, because if you don't 
set __USE_FILE_OFFSET64, and __WORDSIZE == 32, you'll end up injecting 
padding fields that don't belong, via the __field64 macro?

This is basically the issue I just raised in the parallel thread with HJ.
