I believe we should unify bitsperlong.h for all ports to use
(__SIZEOF_LONG__ * 8).  Now we specify GCC >= 5.1 or Clang (LLVM) >=
11.0.0 in min-tool-version.sh, where __SIZEOF_LONG__ is usable [1].  The
only remaining compiler is ICC, which is deprecated and won't be
supported for building the kernel after 6.3 [2].
