YOu are contradicting yourself. Evidently it is not redundant,
otherwise you'd have no problems.

You're joking, right? Why should this be done? The symbol was
introduced for the expressed purpose of using it for x86 with the x86

Besides, the code using this symbol will be rearranged sometime soon
anyway. So better hold of your patch until this is handled. Changes
are that you then can piggy-bag your requirements.
