I think that there is a pervasive understanding that SImode is

Only among contributors not considering non-8-bit bytes. SImode is 4

be particularly usable, much like the limitations on TImode on 32-bit
targets) with large BITS_PER_UNIT.
I think you just described the majority of contributors. :-)
It may be that my current problem is limited to unwind-dw2.c.
If so, then I may be able to work around it by simply not building it.
There's also __mode__ (__SI__) in include/sys/types.h
where it's used to define _ST_INT32. The comments are
interesting: This is meant to insure that the stat
struct layout doesn't change when sizeof(int) changes,
but forgets that SI not always 32 bits.
