Right, but the bug report is about the inconsistent behaviour about
for x86_64 (and powerpc as well) and default one.  Bug report comments
from Carlos pointed that it should be fixed in x86_64/powerpc
implementation, while I argued that it would better to follow
what other libc are aiming for since this specific case that does
trigger any particular issue. That's why I think it is not invalid.

If the consensus is indeed to fix the x86_64/powerpc I will work
towards, although I still prefer aim for portability.
