Gnulib now assumes that the C compiler supports 'long long' [1]. VMS on Vax is end-of-life for more than 7 years now [2], and the other CPUs on which VMS is running (alpha, ia64, x86_64)[2] are all 64-bit. > Can dfa.c be made 32-bit compatibile in a happy fashion? I would say that it's not worth the effort - except for the person(s) who care a lot about Vax/VMS.
