valgrind (with the default --partial-loads-ok=yes) could and should do 
the same thing with cmpw that it already does with cmpl. The attached 
program compiles and runs OK with gcc -O2 and valgrind on x86-64, even 
though the machine code uses cmpl to load bytes that were not allocated.

They do at times, though not as often as we'd like. fts.c in particular 
has strayed quite a bit, to cater GNU utilities' robustness needs over 
what glibc provides. (GNU coreutils, for example, uses Gnulib fts.c even 
on glibc platforms.) At some point somebody should merge Gnulib fts.c 
back into glibc.
