If that is acceptable for gcc, than I personally have no problem with that.

You understood correctly. The solution I proposed was a quick,
non-invasive one, but if gcc can provide those built-in types,
and if they would be operable with signed/unsigned (such as
unsigned __int64 is valid for m$vc), then I personally have no
problems with that.
