I would expect that the same is needed on ia64 and parisc and mips.
powerpc, s390 and sparc probably don't need it because they
have architecture specific code that already does this, but you
can probably remove the powerpc version if you add a generic
one.

New architectures (including tile) won't need the wrapper because
the 32-bit ABI there only has truncate64.
