Supporting [extended length integers] is not a good idea. IMO, it is just the beginning of non-standard extensions. For the purpose of cross-compiling, I don't have a problem with an option to specify the width.
But what about cross compiling from a 32-bit platform for a 64-bit target? (which strikes me as a perfectly reasonable thing to do today).
IMHO, it is in the community's ultimate best interest for preprocessors and compilers to be as *un-permissive* as possible. ... but in general I agree with this idea.
