Really?  Someone defined __amd64__ on a non LP64 platform and didn't expect
to break tons of software?   Amazing...

I'd expect damage from such idiocy to go much deeper in X than just that
one header, though that's probably the starting point.

Are you sure that every real amd64 platform that uses __amd64__ defines __LP64__
as well?
