I think this is a bit harsh.
Only rs6000, mips and hppa vary MAX_LONG_TYPE_SIZE like this, and
only rs6000 breaks when you build with a 64-bit H_W_I. What you
are implying is that *every* patch must be tested on rs6000 before
it is installed, as opposed to fixing problems with the patch when
they appear.
