Nope, I don't even think it would effect Debian, since I know that z
(size_t) is supported on the BSD port and assume it is supported on Hurd
(as Hurd is probably using the same libc and compiler sources as Linux
does). If you think this is usefull, by all means, go ahead and change
the sources, but please do so consistently (i.e. create a patch which
fixes all occurences of typecasts from size_t variables, even in
upstream source, and submit a patch to change upstream source like that
to the upstream BTS).

cu,
