General remark: None of your patches have a s-o-b line. If you want to have your patches in git you are required to sign-off on them (commit -s) in order to certify that you can submit them under the license terms of the project. Your diff -> test_cmp are certainly something we want to have in any case. The code changes look ugly, honestly, making the code much less readable, but it seems to be the only way to make those older platforms and compilers happy. (Erik pointed out some good ways to reduce the uglyness somewhat.) I can't test your target platform, but I would test the impact of the code and test changes on mine. Do you have your series somewhere to pull from?
