Um, no, ssize_t isn't long. Do you mean __kernel_ssize_t?
(Or are you looking at cris-axis-elf? ...no, that can't be it,
as you see __SIZE_TYPE__ being unsigned int.)

But ssize_t already is int...

N.B. size_t is different between cris-axis-elf and
cris-axis-linux-gnu. The former uses the default definition in
gcc/defaults.h (long unsigned int) and the latter sets it
specifically to "unsigned int", in gcc/config/cris/linux.h (or
before 2010-12-09, from config/svr4.h). The ssize_t definition
comes from glibc, where it is "int".

A bit odd; __kernel_ssize_t should probably change to int, to
match ssize_t.

Correct, for cris-axis-linux-gnu.

I'd guess from the gcc default.
