So I had a look at fixing this and it seems that there was already
another bug (#753493) on this issue and you tried to fix it in this
commit:

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/hdf4.git/commit/?id=683f409c2e11b4cd3f20f62bc01ba02f839656bc

Unfortunately, you changed the typedefs for ARM instead of MIPS so the
bug wasn't fixed. Thankfully since int and long are the same on 32-bit
ARM, it had no effect there and nothing broke.

I've attached a patch to the hdfi.h patch which has the correct line
numbers against 4.2.10-3.

Thanks,
James
