Yes, Jakub discussed this with me and we came to the conclusion that this
is acceptable. We only break if someone uses gcc 3.x with the old ssize_t
type of int to compile c++ code and mixes the binaries with code compiled
with gcc 3.x with the new ssize_t of long. The if here is that gcc 3.x
should only be used with a new libc which has a ssize_t of long.
blue skies,
Martin
