are 64 bits and int is 32 bits, but it doesn't suffice for some other cases, e.g., int==long==32 bits and time_t==64 bits (a case that is not allowed by C89 but is allowed by C99).
We've talked a bit about doing this for FreeBSD/i386 (so that all architectures would use the same width time_t), but such a transition would be so difficult that I doubt it would happen. -GAWollman
