Using bitflags for FFI is unsound in linux32, and it causes crashes like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1406952. This is pretty similar to rust-lang/rust-bindgen#439. For this to be properly type safe we need to wait for rust-lang/rust#43036. Hopefully that's not for too long.

@KyleMayes ping? It'd be nice to get this in soon, if you can, in order to unblock building firefox in 32-bit devices. I can also avoid using these functions in bindgen, but that's really a last-resort solution... |
