actually, it is not so easy.  The problem is "native" CLI integer is 32 bit,
so we want to translate lltype.Signed to int32, even on 64 bit.  But when
translating on 64 bit, the translation toolchain thinks that lltype.Signed is
rffi.LONG, and things are confused.

Hopefully, the work that Christian is doing for win64 will help the CLI and
JVM backends too.
