Comment(by Snark):

 The code I remove is under "#if defined (__arm__) && W_TYPE_SIZE == 32",
 so "it deletes a chunk of code that isn't buggy (as far as we know) on
 other platforms" is wrong : that code is platform-specific and is known
 not to compile on that very platform!

 The removal is unconditional because the code is conditional anyway : if
 it's not there, then we fall back on C code which compiles and runs. Not
 optimal, but there is no working optimised code for the platform anyway,
 so there's no regression.

 I hope that clears matters.
