It would be nice to be able to build 32-bit boot loaders on 64 bit
hosts with gcc -m32. Currently that does not work due to it picks up 64
bit inttypes. We have a patch for xen's hvmloader:

http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/tree/main/xen/stdint_local.h

Introduced with this commit:
http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/commit/main/xen/musl-hvmloader-fix-stdint.patch?id=bcf7b52774f1b0a3e405a207c3c4a5342b951f40


This is for stdint.h but I think its related and I assume it affects
limits.h too.
