You're right that when compiling in ILP32, size_t is 32 bits and when
in LP64, it's 64 bits, but where are you seeing a warning or error?
That code doesn't seem to fail on our existing 64-bit plaforms.

I don't think so. If it's used across the system call boundary, then
you need to use the STRUCT_DECL trick (which is what those _SYSCALL32
bits are about), but I don't see that it is.
