It isn't that simple. Your suggestion would ensure that the
compiler thought the code I was compiling saw ints and longs
the same way, but this would not be the case with the compiler's
run-time library, which would need to be recompiled and debugged.
alloc and friends, for example, take int-sized arguments in my machine!

I want to port code, not support a compiler (the code is enough trouble
as it is :-)
If we want to coverse further, perhaps we should do so by mail -- let;s
not clutter up the newsgroup!
