Why do you think that Delphi's longint has 64bits anywhere?
Delphi's NativeInt is 32 or 64bit depending on platform.

.
As Marco have pointed out, in Windows the Delphi's LongInt type is always
32-bits. On other platforms is platform dependent.
In short: It is platform dependent in Delphi.
Still not clear for me. Are NativeInt and NativeUInt provided for Delphi
compatibility, right? So, if i need an integer type which depends on
platform/fpc compilation mode, which one should i use?
NativeInt and NativeUInt are indeed provided for Delphi compatibility.
Which integer type to chose : That depends.
What do you want to achieve exactly ?
