FWIW, https://wiki.debian.org/ArchitectureSpecificsMemo#Summary shows that all 
Debian-supported architectures (and I count 30 of those) have a 64-bit 
long long type. That means dropping support for 32-bit only 
architectures might actually be viable. The Debian list isn't 
comprehensive, so there might other architectures out there that don't 
define a 64-bit type (seems unlikely), but there are definitely older 
compilers out there without 64-bit types.

If the decision is to drop 32-bit only compilers/architectures, then it 
probably makes sense to drop C89 compatibility at the same time. I 
suspect that the intersection of C99 compilers and compilers without a 
64-bit type is pretty close to ΓΈ, although technically, C99 doesn't 
mandate the existence a 64-bit type.
