This makes sense to me (I did, however, not want to make that change 
part of the same changeset - one change at a time.)

The main reason for not just blindly using "long long" has to do with 
the use of gcc -ansi -pedantic in userspace, which is already taken care 
of by the use of __extension__ in the __GNUC__ clause.
