Ok, same results, it works, queuing this one, ack? Stephen, does it work
for you?

commit a08cc3e6f7bb965672a3ff60f98d0dbbc5334ee7
Author: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
Date: Fri Jul 15 12:38:18 2016 -0300

tools: Simplify BITS_PER_LONG define

Do it using (__CHAR_BIT__ * __SIZEOF_LONG__), simpler, works everywhere,
reduces the complexity by ditching CONFIG_64BIT, that was being
synthesized from yet another set of defines, which proved fragile,
breaking the build on linux-next for no obvious reasons.
