On some architectures one can be running a 64-bit kernel with a 32-bit
userland.
Such is the case for sparc64 (unsupported) for example and mips64 with
n32 ABI.
Some tools that interface directly with the kernel need to be built
specially for this, so introduce this symbol to tweak their build in one
central kludge to be future-proof.
Example: bug #6602.
