I'm currently doing some work on a HaLstation. This is a FULL 64bit
implementation of Solaris. 64-bit addressing, 64-bit file systems,
64-bit everything!

lseek() returns a off_t. An off_t is defined as a long. On Hal machine
a long == int == 64bits.

Also, on a HaLstation they have defined types int16_t, int32_t and
so forth. And they define the implied type.

Also, 32 bit applications run in 64 bit mode without change. Over
all a very hot box!
