- Your MACHINE does not have em.
-
- The GCC compiler does have type "long long", which will do 64-bit on all
- machines, I believe. It might be even bigger on machines where long is
- already 64-bit. You might give it a try. Of course it does it via some
- instructions to simulate the extra precision, so things will slow down.
