For proper 32x64 HOST_WIDE_INT must be a 64bit type. Yes, things appear to
mostly work if it isn't, but eventually it's going to break if you stress
the tools enough.
I'm not arguing for or against Alex's patch right now (I'm still reading
the thread), but I wanted to make sure that everyone knows there are
correctness issues this patch is trying to address.
