I consider this a substantial regression actually. There's no reason for it to be machine dependent like this. Fortunately, the fix should be easy. Use int64_t everywhere and then everybody wins. The other changes seem useful, though others may care more about the posixness of it all. It'd be best to split this into the three different parts and submit as separate patches so we can discuss them individually.
