I also see:

#if defined(__GNUC__) && (defined (__powerpc__) || defined(__amd64__) || 
defined(__x86_64__))
#define APREF ap
#else
#define APREF *ap
#endif


But I also see that my amd64/FC6 machine does pass these tests with gcc.

I would certainly be nice if we could simplify all this. And if not, we 
should have a note about why it's needed.
