Write a little program to print the sizes of the various types which
distinguish the models. Something like:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    printf("sizeof(int) = %zu\n", sizeof(int));
    printf("sizeof(long) = %zu\n", sizeof(long));
    printf("sizeof(void *) = %zu\n", sizeof(void *));
    return 0;
}

which, when run on my 64-bit system produces:

sizeof(int) = 4
sizeof(long) = 8
sizeof(void *) = 8

which according to http://www.unix.org/version2/whatsnew/lp64_wp.html
makes it an LP64 model.

I think that their table means that its 64 bits for all.
