I don't think you need to do fancy #ifdef's:

static s32 return_eio_32(void) { return -EIO; }
static s64 return_eio_64(void) { return -EIO; }
extern void return_eio_unknown(void);   /* Doesn't exist */
#define return_eio(type)        ((sizeof(type) == 4)			\
					? ((void *) return_eio_32)	\
				: ((sizeof(type) == 8)			\
					? ((void *) return_eio_64)	\
					: ((void *) return_eio_unknown)))
