 Well, the problem certainly ceases to be when I fix the declaration to
 match the definition, but I'm not entirely sure I understand what the
 intended purpose of using that attribute was, as it fails to make
 sense to me the way it is right now. Furthermore, I don't quite grok why
 this only seems to affect amd64 - so I'm a bit relucant to file a PR under
 pkg- for it with a fix. I'm afraid that I'd be breaking things somewhere
 else..
