"Other people" as in "other architectures" or other people including
on ia64? I've been testing this fix with two different (though
arguably similar) ia64 machines fine. If that's a source of breakage
on !ia64, then as I suggested a simple #ifdef __ia64__ should be just
enough, or not?

I understand your point, but if that works on ia64 (as it seems to),
and for lack of a better solution, wouldn't it be possible to at least
enable this fix on ia64 as I suggested above? The performance boost is
of several orders of magnitude...
