The big problem is not doing 64-bit arithmetic on a 32-bit
system, it's rewriting all the C code which expects to able to
use simple expressions ("a+b") to do the job, instead of using
functions in some 64-bit math package. More work than it's
worth (to me, at least). You're welcome to jump right in, but
the resulting code clutter would probably cause more problems
than it cured.
