The posters in comp.lang.c may be able to answer better.
Try one of the gcc -switches like -m64, although that won't
quite do exactly what you're asking. Maybe one of the -mtune=CPU
switches (maybe not). If you're writing your own code, I'd try
explicitly using int64_t, or introduce your own typedef (or #define).
Or you could edit /usr/include/stdint.h which already has 32-bit
typedef's for int and unsigned int, and change them to 64-bit. 
But that last idea's probably not recommended.
