config(8) currently stores all numbers in an int.. which is a bit of
a problem if you want to specify number larger than that. Changing
it to a long will not help in the crossbuild case, and I don't think
using int64_t is a good idea for host tools, as they must compile
in the host environment, which may not support the type.

I'll have a look on how to fix config to get this right.
