And how would url-digest-auth-make-cnonce look with bignums?

To me it's not so obvious. E.g. current-time is supposed to "return the
current time, as the number of seconds since [epoch]". So, how are you
going to represent micro-seconds with bignums?
Or, e.g. disassemble_lisp_time deals with formats that are the form
(HIGH LOW USEC PSEC) or formats that were used in previous Emacs
versions. With bignums, disassemble_lisp_time has to support the old
formats and bignums too.
