This is straying from the subject of GCC and into the
problems of writing portable C code, but since you asked....

The Tandem NSK/OSS environment does not claim full
conformance to C99.  The NSK/OSS community is conservative
(fault-tolerance does that do you :-) and has introduced
only some C99 features, more as time progresses.  The
NSK/OSS developers did not introduce 64-bit unsigned int
until last year.  I'm no expert in the area, but I'd guess
that most NSK/OSS production shops are still running older
releases, which have 64-bit signed int but only 32-bit
unsigned int.
