I don't have a good solution for the problem you're stuck with,
since such assumptions should never have been made in the first
place.

The AT&T MC680x0 compiler I use is configured for sizeof(int)==2
and sizeof(long)==4.  That's a fairly common choice on smaller
CPU architectures.

I haven't seen many C implementations where longs are 64 bits,
but there are some and it is likely to become more common in the
future.
