It depends on how it's written, they use different exceptions:
- you need normal fadvise64() on 64-bit
- you need fadvise64_64() on x86-32 and most other 32-bit platforms
- you need arm_fadvise64_64() on arm32 only
So anything that explicitly references arm_fadvise64_64() would have to
have a detection for building for 32-bit arm specifically, rather than just
detecting whether it's building for 32-bit or 64-bit.
