Comment(by felix):

 Hm. This fix looks like its compiler-dependent: is __LP64__ defined
 everywhere on a 64-bit machine? And what platforms are meant with this
 well-meant suggestion? (I assume MING64 isn't which is the only one I'm
 aware of because only stupid OSs that are paranoid and pathologic about
 backwards-compatibility take that half-assed, dangerous and error-prone
 measure to maintain the illusion that you can simply recompile your 32-bit
 code on such a system and expect things to work).

 In other words, what should we do?
