Python platforms without long long

I just stumbled about this note in
https://docs.python.org/3/library/array.html:

| 2. The 'q' and 'Q' type codes are available only if the platform C
| compiler used to build Python supports C long long, or, on Windows,
| __int64.
|
| New in version 3.3.

The long long type was standardized in C99 (and was a popular extension
before that). Python 3.3 was released in 2012 - 13 years later. Were any
of the supported platforms of Python3 really still missing this type at
that time?
