gcc doesn't have such location, you'd want a different path
for gcc -m64, different for gcc -m32, different for gcc -mx32, ....
The standard way is to add a wrapper header and include your arch specific
header based on compiler predefined macros.  Say something like:
# ifdef __i386__
#  include <asm/posix_types_32.h>
# elif defined(__ILP32__)
#  include <asm/posix_types_x32.h>
# else
#  include <asm/posix_types_64.h>
# endif
or, if possible, avoid arch specific headers altogether.
