But the 32-bit check does the exact same thing but via a single binary

So i'd go with the 32-bit version. (unless there are some sign-extension
complications i'm missing - but i think we got rid of those already.)
OK, fair enough. I wouldn't be surprised if gcc does that transform
anyway, but we may as well be consistent about it.
