I don't know what context these types are being used in, but would
int_least64_t suffice? C99 does require the existence of the [u]int_leastN_t

As far as I can tell, the only safe and correct way to convert a (for example)
intptr_t to a python long is something akin to the following:

PyLong_FromVoidPtr works for uintptr_t, but not intptr_t.
