Sure, that would work. If that's too fast we could do something more
gradual, like this:
1. glibc version N supports --enable-hard-sys-types64 and
--disable-hard-sys-types64 and the default is disabled.
2. glibc version N+1 is the same, but the default is enabled.
3. glibc version N+2 removes support for --disable-hard-sys-types64;
--enable-hard-sys-type64 remains as a no-op.
However, your thought of skipping step (2) would be simpler.
