I don't know of one these days, but I suspect there are a few.
Bruno Haible mentioned in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2006-06/msg00286.html>
that he knows of a compiler where 'long long int' is 32 bits (!) but
didn't say which one it is.

Coreutils 6.* currently assumes a 64-bit type in its SHA-512
implementation.  It's currently only in beta, though, so it's not
proof that 64-bit is universal.
