64-bit computers have:

a) int=32, long=32, long long=64 (ELXSI)
b) int=64, long=64, long long=syntax error (Cray)
c) int=32, long=64, long long=syntax error (alpha, I think)

(Note that, for the current and upcoming 64-bit microprocessor-based
computers from the major companies [DEC and MIPS at least, presumably Sun]
will probably end up having various options for type length, either on the
command line, or via a header file.)

And throw in combinations of pointers being 32 and 64 bits (or 24 or 32
bits, on the Cray)...
