i spotted one __ilp32__ vs __ILP32__ typo in the glibc code,
i can review it in detail when there is a cleaned up patch set.

in general the approach seems ok, the ugly part is when lp64
and ilp32 share code, but ilp32 needs some tweaks compared to
the current code (e.g. x vs w regs in asm, long changed to
long long in syscalls, different relocations etc) those will
be hard to review. the naming is sometimes _be_ilp32 sometimes
ilp32_be, but let's hope there will be no new abi variant to
confuse this further.
