When compiling e2fsprogs for qemumips64, we got compilation errors. The root cause is that parse-types.sh script would fail for mips64.
However, the type size checking in parse-types.sh doesn't make much sense in case of cross compilation. This is because that the typedef statements in asm_types.h are for the target machine while the generated binary in parse-types.sh script is executed on build machine. This patch fixes such problem.
