If you look in the script Configure, you'll see what kinds of
platforms we claim to support.  That means that we have to be careful
with the kind of assumptions we make.  For example, your patch would
fail miserably on VMS for VAX (which I know is still used out there).

However, nothing stops you from making variants with different types
of integers, maybe with some help from the macros used and defined in
crypto/bn/bn.h, which are correctly defined for each platform, as far
as we know.

Cheers,
Richard
