From my reading of configure.in, we use the first integral type that is 8 bytes long, looking at int, long, long long. So if long and long long are both 64bit, we'll pick long. Don't know if thats enough of a guarantee for you. It might be worthwhile pointing this little pitfall out on gnome-i18n@gnome.org, so that translators can watch out for things like this. Matthias
