Oh, you very well may be right. I'll look into this today and see  
what I can do to sort it out. Would it be a bad idea to typedef  
cl_fixnum to long long where it is available?

If there is a performance issue, maybe --enable-long-long-ffi could  
be a configure option, so someone who needs it could have it, and  
users at large don't have a problem.
