What do you mean "long should be 64b"? ANSI C defines "long" as a 32 bit
integer. "int" is defined as a "default" size integer, which depends on
the machine word size (32 bit on i386, 16 bit on 286, 64 bit on Alpha).
There is no ANSI C 64 bit integer.

"long long" is an extension that has been known to get you a 64 bit
integer in some places...

This will definitely not work.
