Ok, in that case I will explain what we've done (and thus believe that
you should as well... :-)
- Our code doesn't depend on sizeof(int32_t) == 4. Rather it uses
int32_t as a type that's able to store at least 32 bits. That's
important on Crays and some other strange architectures, as you have
seen.
- It also requires an ANSI compiler to build. If don't have any
(quite unusual these days) and worry about it I think using ansi2knr
or unproto or something similar is the right way. The include files
that are used by other programs use __P so you should be able to build
K&R programs and link with our library.
