Question on sys/reent.h

[Yaakov (Cygwin/X)]

The following section of <sys/reent.h> caused a conflicting typedef
error when building libjava:

#ifndef __Long
#if __LONG_MAX__ == 2147483647L
#define __Long long
typedef unsigned __Long __ULong;
#elif __INT_MAX__ == 2147483647
#define __Long int
typedef unsigned __Long __ULong;
#endif
#endif

These types appear to be used in newlib's dtoa.c and mprec.c (it is a
copy of the latter in libjava which triggers this error). Is this
correct or it is another ssize_t?

As far as I can see, no. The definition is crude, but it all leads
to the desire to define __Long as a 32 bit type, independent of the
architecture.

Why and how does this clash with libjava?
