Comment(by plobsing):
This is a longstanding known issue.
Slots for supporting 'long long', 'long double', and explicitly-sized
64-bit types was in the recently-merged ptrbuf branch, which improves the
native struct interface and are planned for changes to bring the native
call interface in line with the former.
All of this is, of course, conditional on th C system implementing these.
It doesn't make sense for a C-compatibility layer to provide types that
the system's C does not support. To make use of these slots, we'll need
configure-probes which currently do not exist.
