<Thanks to all those who responded>
The responses would indicate that there are two C compilers available
for the ST which use 32-bit integers (int).  These are:

Lattice C:
    I have not heard any complaints about the compiler itself.  Complaints are
  with the linker.  The compiler can produce code files too big for the
  linker.  Externals (symbols) are converted to upper case.  There are bugs in
  libraries (strncpy mentioned).  The linker is slow and obnoxious.  But it
  can be interfaced with the DRI loader (if one has it)

Hippo C:
    It has 32-bit integers - nothing else good was said!

I will probably get the Lattice C soon - and hope for the best.
