This patch indeed makes acroread & netscape work again on my alpha. Nice
spotting.
Don't we know about the type of binary? (Like personality ...)
So we could use something like
   ssize_t len
 #ifdef __alpha__
   if (current->personality =3D=3D DEC_OSF_OLD)
     len =3D (int) iov[i].iov_len;
   else
     len =3D (ssize_t) iov[i].iov_len;
 #else
   len =3D (ssize_t) iov[i].iov_len;
 #endif

Not really beautiful, but working for all cases.
