I don't like how you need so many ilp32 files.

Presumably this is a new convention to be followed for all future ilp32 
ABIs on 64-bit architectures.  Meaning that you should have some sysdeps 
macros to say whether this convention is in use and then make either the 
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux files, or the .../generic files, or a new 
architecture-independent sysdeps directory, implement that convention.

Note also how Adhemerval recently unified pread / pwrite implementations.  
Adding new files for those functions goes against that unification.
