Got it. I'm just trying to understand what the work is because that list hasn't
been captured anywhere yet.

OK. Could you find one or two of those places in the RPython source code so we
can see? And what is the fix? Does long get changed to long long or another
type or ?

Does "calling convention for the JIT" mean a function calling convention for 64
bit windows or something else? Where is this in the code, or maybe, where is
it for the Windows 32 code and where would the 64 bit version go? There's no
magic for exceptions, gc, or anything else?
Thanks for the details,
