I think I understand now. I was misled by the person claiming Pari required 
sizeof(long) == sizeof(void*) and Bill Allombert debunking it. Bill was of 
course correct (he is a Pari dev).

As for assuming sizeof(mp_limb_t) == sizeof(void*) we probably have the 
same issue in Flint. We will very slowly address this and have been making 
patches here and there. It's not a priority.

However, that issue is entirely irrelevant to MSYS2. By default on that 
system both sizeof(mp_limb_t) and sizeof(void*) are 8 on Windows 64.

The x32 issue is only affecting people who are wanting to support this 
trendy new ABI.

Bill.
