Possibly. And I won't report a bug about this patch, because I don't have
access to a HP-UX IA64 machine.

But my previous report about a portability problem arose because code was
committed to gnulib without ever having been tested on the relevant platforms.
Now again, you introduce such code.

I would find it better to have it tested on actual HP-UX IA64 machines.
Here are two possible ideas:
  - Ask on the platform-testers mailing list for someone willing to test
    it for us. (For example, without the help of Daniel Richard G we would
    not be able to able to do anything for z/OS.)
  - Try to get shell access to such a machine. For example from the people
    at http://hpux.connect.org.uk/, or from some of the people mentioned in
    https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64919 .
