* [musl] __WORDSIZE on x32

This looks a bid suspicious:

arch/x32/bits/reg.h:#undef __WORDSIZE
arch/x32/bits/reg.h:#define __WORDSIZE 32
arch/x32/bits/user.h:#undef __WORDSIZE
arch/x32/bits/user.h:#define __WORDSIZE 64

I don't know if it causes any actual problems.  I discovered it while
checking whether musl defines/uses __WORDSIZE.

Thanks,
Florian

Thanks for the find. Now... which is it supposed to be?

commit 664cd341921007cea52c8891f27ce35927dca378 introduced x32 as a
patch against a copy of x86_64 and changed one instance from 64 to 32,
so presumably the intent was to change both. Is this in agreement with
what it means on glibc or elsewhere?

Sorry?  I typo'ed “bit”, but that's not it?

glibc uses __WORDSIZE == 64 to differentiate x86-64 from x86-64-32, so
it should be 32 for x32.

However, arch/x32/bits/user.h looks written as if define __WORDSIZE to
64 changes the width of long to 64.  I think struct user_regs_struct
needs to have unsigned long long members on x32.  (It's what glibc uses
for both x86-64 and x86-64-32.)  Likewise a most of the members of
struct user.

Thanks,
Florian

OK, following up on this rather late...

In the past year or two, "sus" has entered the vernacular for
gaming-related reasons. ;-)

Fixing this now.

For user_regs_struct, it's pretty clear they need to be 64-bit. I'm
not sure about the long fields in struct user -- these may be 32-bit
on ELF32? Let's keep this part open until someone looks into it more.
