I'd suggest to first post for review and later commit target
independent fixes in the middle-end, then fixes/improvements in
generic i386 parts and at last strict x32 target stuff. IIRC, ther are
many inconsistencies w.r.t. ptr_size != size of Pmode in both,
middle-end and generic i386 parts, and this way I hope we will avoid
problems if change in lower layers is based on wrong assumptions.

I also suggest to rename t-linuxx32 to t-linux-x32.

Thanks,
Uros.
