If you want to make it usable for Linux kernel based system you would
need to change alignof(long long) to 4 matching i386.
Otherwise you cannot use the existing 32bit emulation layer and would
need a new one (this is much more than just a standard C library; it
also covers all ioctls and all system calls)
Same is likely true for the BSDs and Solaris at least.
