write_compiled_module(), check_compiled_module() and other functions use the
marshal module to read/write binary file, but marshal has no function for
int64_t, only for long (which may be 32 bits, especially on Windows).
I don't know if Python has a builtin 64 bits integer type. There is
PY_LONG_LONG, but this type is optional. A possible solution is to always store
timestamp as 64 bits signed integer, but reject timestamp > 2^32 (as currently)
if we don't have 64 bits integer type (like PY_LONG_LONG). Something like:
#ifdef PY_LONG_LONG
write_timestamp64(t);
#else
if (t << 32) { error; }
write_timestamp32(t);
write_long32(0); /* emulate 64 bits in big endian */
#endif
