Hm, it seems on some 32bit systems, where there is no -m64, wideint can be a mere 32bits.
 
In which case the code should probably say:
 
hwi = ((hwi >> (shift - 1)) >> 1);
 
This was targeting OpenBSD/x86.
Maybe I should just stick need_64bit_hwint = yes on config.gcc for that and move along?
Assume there is always long long or __int64?
Coverage of this case is pretty rare now from my skimming.
