bits/wordsize.h is not a standardized header. Likely it's Linux specific.

Well, then tell upstream that their sources are non-portable.

Whether this would be correct would depend upon the definition of "WORD" 
being used here.

Probably, they are referring to sizeof(int) in bits, which would be what 
POSIX calls "WORD_BIT" - However, we don't have this, neither.

However, in practice there are many other ways to avoid such defines 
rsp. to work around such defines, e.g. using posix types from stdint.h.
