That's ugly, but easy to fix and not the sort of thing that we are likely 
to get wrong as long as the compiler is happy.

We could make a macro to make it less ugly.  Since we haven't done that 
yet, it probably isn't that much of a problem.

What does that have to do with PPS or i386?

Here is your comment that started this tangle:
>> OTOH, I sure hope we can stop supporting PPS and i386 soon.

I still don't understand if and/or why you really want to stop supporting 
PPS or i386.

PPS is important for decent timekeeping.  We could split it out from gpsd. 
 Is the current support painful enough that we should work on that?  
What's the problem?

Is there something about i386 that makes it harder to support than other 
32 bit systems?
