That solves the libc problem however compiling with -flong-int also
means that it will be impossible to call other libraries, which
means that it will be a little hard to use Unix specific library
to have extra functionallity under Unix.

But sure having a -flong-int flags is nice but it doesn't solve
all problems. Perhaps would be good to push for its addition
even now, it might take a few years before standard GNU C 
installation supports it.
