No, this would be one giant kludge by itself. The failure just shows that the

controversial patch [1] for PR 49721 was wrong.

I am checking in this patch, which only affects x32

and nothing else.  This one character change, from



POINTERS_EXTEND_UNSIGNED < 0



to



POINTERS_EXTEND_UNSIGNED != 0



creates a working x32 GCC. This isn't perfect. I have

tried many different approaches without any success.

I will revisit it if we run into any problems with x32

applications.

So, we run into problem.
