Because include/uapi/asm/statfs.h has this:
#ifndef __statfs_word
#if __BITS_PER_LONG == 64
#define __statfs_word __kernel_long_t
#else
#define __statfs_word __u32
#endif
#endif
...
struct statfs64 {
__statfs_word f_type;
__statfs_word f_bsize;
__u64 f_blocks;
__u64 f_bfree;
...
While the bits/statfs.h header in glibc has this:
struct statfs
{
__SWORD_TYPE f_type;
__SWORD_TYPE f_bsize;
__field64(__fsblkcnt_t, __fsblkcnt64_t, f_blocks);
...
struct statfs64
{
__SWORD_TYPE f_type;
__SWORD_TYPE f_bsize;
__fsblkcnt64_t f_blocks;
...
Where __SWORD_TYPE is always a signed integer (int or long int depending
on 32/64-bit word size). Hence we define the kernel __statfs_word to be
signed 32-bit to match.
Supposedly, tilepro should have a similar issue too, though I guess this
is quite obscure in practice. We so far haven't encountered any issues
on nios2 without this __s32 override either, it's just by observation.

This swap is configured/implemented using Nios II's custom instruction
facility; it is not part of the compiler supported Nios II core
instruction set. In fact, even the exact opcode allocated is not fixed.
So the custom swap will not be in a form usable by the compiler, and
hence no use of it during code generation (if it is, you might not even
need to use __builtin_swap*(), there's a optimization pass that
recognizes the shift+or-ing C code patterns)
