It's probably the case on all LP64 platforms, at least with GCC.

I do to remember this being discussed and a modified version of the
change, to use the glib macros, being suggested - did we just discuss
that and not check it in?  I thought I'd remembered something getting
checked in, but perhaps I'm misremembering.

I've no idea - I see no place where it would need to be 64 bits on
64-bit platforms, or even where making it 64 bits would suppress a
compiler warning.
