if (sizeof(void*) == 4)
	/* 32 bit */
else if (sizeof(void*) == 8)
	/* 64 bit */
else
	/* magic */

or maybe `man 2 personality`

in the future, you might want to:
 - fix your mailer.  long lines unwrapped lines are not welcome in the open 
source world.
 - not cross post to as many lists as you can find.  cross-posting is frowned 
upon when you dont have a good reason to do it.  asking for help is not a good 
reason.
