Correction: I was comparing o32 to n32. We still need to ensure that
either o32 or n32 is used. It's easier to just ensure that o32 is used,
so that we have less variability in the code but can be relaxed later if
need be.

Correction: setjmp/longjmp are not adapted to n32 but we don't use them
anyway. Probably it's time to delete the dead code after double checking
that extras don't use it either.
