This is platform-specific.  Typically, it's unsigned int on 32-bit systems
and unsigned long on 64-bit ones, though some 32-bit targets also use
unsigned long.

On i686-pc-linux-gnu, size_t has always been unsigned int.

But isn't the Intel testsuite ia64-specific, anyway?  Last I checked, the
Intel ix86 compiler still used the EDG mangling.
