Then we'd need to coordinate with Gnulib, which further complicates maintenance for us. I don't understand why this is needed, given that Tom published a proposed solution for the issue. If you are bothered by possible run-time penalty for LP64 systems, we can use compile-time checks instead of run-time checks. So I really don't see any justification for more elaborate schemes.
