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.)

This has been reported before and will be corrected in the next release of
the source code.

If I'm not completely mistaken, limits.h (climits in C++?) is a standard
C library and can be used to select the proper types for the required
sizes.
  Also there's a more advanced version of this in the C++ standard, but
I don't remember now how it works (or what was the name of the library).

  I wonder if it could be a good idea to start using those (if possible).
