In statement.c the compiler defines CRITSECSIZE to be the size of a critical section. This is done using the HOST system headers and sizeof. During cross compilation this may lead to memory corruptions when the size of a critical section is smaller on the host system than it is on the target.

This is already the case for Linux 32/64 (32 vs. 40 byte).
I found this bug by tracking down a memory corruption using a mipsel-linux-gdc
cross compiler.

Speaking of target constants.  There should be target hooks for this sort of stuff to allow different backends to implement their own value.

>There should be target hooks

Yeah there should be hooks for target constants.

For this I think we should expose a critical section struct through the
druntime/compiler interface. It's effectively a runtime issue to do the locking
so it should choose the means.
I'll prepare a pull request.
