Googling on newsgroups shows for example Crays as having 64 buit ints. I

I think when it comes to Cray support I just as soon be left behind ...
The C standard doesn't maintain any consensus on int being 32 bits, so
implementations are likely to be 16, 32 and 64 (with the ocassional 18
or 36 thrown in for good measure ;) bits.
The C standard allows a lot of targets that are mainly of historical
interest (including Cray), but GCJ is unlikey to support them well.
My understanding is among targets that are actively maintained/used
or new targets, you can expect int to be 32 bits.
