Lets expand the list (you can get much of this from sizeof.exp):

- sizeof (saved register)
- sizeof (int)
- sizeof (long)
- sizeof (void *)
- sizeof (long long)
- sizeof (ptrace/ktrace register)

I'm guessing that we're missing one:

hppa1.x executable.  Since michael stated that registers were being 
saved as 4-bytes, I think we're looking at this one.

This is sounding a lot like MIPS N32:

8 - sizeof (saved register)
4 - sizeof (int)
4 - sizeof (long)
4 - sizeof (void *)
8 - sizeof (long long)
8 - sizeof (ptrace/ktrace register)

This is getting into 32x64 - there be dragons.
