This is basically what FreeType is doing already. FreeType gains speed
from "long long" on LLP64:

We suppress the long long warning while enforcing ANSI otherwise. This
does not cover Visual C++ unfortunately, which still needs
FT_CONFIG_OPTION_FORCE_INT64. I would actually propose flipping the
option to _AVOID_INT64 for ancient platforms and embracing long long
by default.

Here is anther place where we use embrace long long, again leaving
Visual C++ behind:
