I don't know ACK/Minix, so I have to ask what may be a
stupid question: Is the issue that you have no 64-bit data
type whatever, or that your compiler gives it a different
name (int64 or whatever)?  If it's a question of nomenclature,
it could be fixed by doing something that arguably should
have been done to begin with for portability, which is to
*always* use synthetic (typedeffed) types, particularly
 for 64-bit data.  If you have no 64-bit type whatever,
on the other hand, there would be non-trivial engineering
work to do to support Java's 64-bit data and operations.
