[This was already posted to povray.programming, but
bug### [at] povrayorg suggested that I post here to
encourage "discussion and investigation by [my] fellow POV-Ray
enthusiasts".]

Version 3.50b doesn't build as is with gcc on an IA64 running Linux.
The following patch corrects the problem.  Basically, int32 and
u_int32 need to be defined as ints, not longs, on IA64; and, the
prototype for Opts_Locate_File() should use the u_int32 typedef
instead of hardwiring in "unsigned long".  (Tsk, tsk.)
