Yes, I believe MIPS is free from old-stype IPC structures. But the
IPC_64 ugliness is not only on MIPS nor 64-bit archs. If we try to
clean it up, it should be done on all archs at same time IMHO. So
until then I prefer proposed workaround (IPC_64 wrappers) in glibc.
And anyway N32 semctl() needs the wrapper due to gcc version
dependency.
