Comment 1 for bug 2075567

Frank, can you confirm that you got in touch with the upstream author about it?

I probably could "fix" it by sprinkling casts all over the place, which could be wildly unsafe depending on the exact properties of __int128, or by actually using a local __int128 variable and memcpy it or something like that, which might destroy performance? (I recall something like that being a problem in some glibc routines on ARM where moving data from SIMD registers was *really* slow on the Pis)

As you see, I'm in much doubt so knowledge from the people who wrote the patch (and own the hardware) would be greatly appreciated!
