Well, from this it seems it should be declared as : unsigned long.
But I have a better solution forthcoming.

This abstraction (one of too many in xfsdump) has a stack checking function
stkchk() which is only called in main.c in a function "stkplay" 
(it calls itself recursively until it gets stack overflow and outputs
at what address this happens at...unsure how useful this is)
which is NEVER compiled in (#ifdef NEVER).
So I am taking all references to it out and removing this
file and its header from the tree.

Thanks for the question.

Any more files you want deleted ? :)
