+0 from me, except (and this is really a nit, since I don't know real
machines like that) what if sizeof(long) == 2 and sizeof(long long) == 4?
long long is "almost standard", and I'm sure a configure test could make
sure it is really there, so you can add

#else
#if HAVE_LONG_LONG and SIZEOF_LONG_LONG >= 4
....
#endif
