Maybe I can be clearer, I am not stating that the avr port should not
support 64-bit long long; just asserting that any port should not require
64-bit integers to be able to build the compiler, if the language it's
being built to support does not correspondingly require it.

(the avr port was simply used as an example demonstration of the problem)
