I must say I still don't really like these conditionally included
fields, if in the future one needs some of them on some other architecture,
we'd need to add another API or symbol version it etc.
Couldn't whether those fields should be filled with some special values
or if just 0 should be stored there be determined by some non-exported
internal macros and just store 0 otherwise?
