+Redefine PTRDIFF_TYPE
+
+Change of SIZE_TYPE from "long unsigned int" to "unsigned int" introduced
+regression due to existing PTRDIFF_TYPE.
+
+Now to fix regression convert PTRDIFF_TYPE to simple "int".
+
+Fix is taken from current development branch of GCC for ARC and will be a
+part of the next release of ARC tools, so at that point patch should be dropped.
