I have replaced this patch with a new one that does not use one element
arrays.
Please take a look of
[PATCH] Do without union of variable length arrays.
Thanks.

Depending on your system and build setup, _FORTIFY_SOURCE might be the
default. It's easy enough to enable it with CPPFLAGS=-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
to configure AFAIK.

Right, that's what I think it will have to be. The cleanest way to do the
32/64 variant switching is not immediately clear to me in the abstract,
though in each particular instance you'll probably be able to decide easily
enough what feels clean.

I don't think we've figured anything out.
