This is exactly the kind of trouble the original patch submissions
were causing, and which were not resolved by the person submitting
the patches.
SILO must continue to build and work properly on systems which have a
predominantly 32-bit compilation environment and a gcc which defaults
to 32-bit.
I will not apply any patch which breaks this, because I too am going
to stick with a 32-bit userland on my sparc64 machines for as long as
I feasibly can.
