It looks like a good way to avoid the 'ifdefined', and it's also good enough 
for i386.

But for other architectures, such as POWERPC/ARM..., we will also have to add 
the same 
function for every architecture. Otherwise, i guess that they also have a same 
compile
error on other architectures.

Sometimes, it's hard to make a choice.
