gcc defines long long to be twice as long as long. So if long is 64
bits, we should have 128-bit long longs. On the MIPS there are options
(not working yet according to the gcc-2.4.x manual) `-mint64',
`-mlong64' and `-mlonglong128'.

Of course, the Alpha OSF/1 people did not use up all idiocy in
defining ints, so they defined both long and long long as having 64
bits.
