On a system with 64-bit long long, an extended 128-bit integer type,
if it exists in both signed and unsigned types, would require
[u]intmax_t to be 128 bits. gcc makes [u]intmax_t 64 bits.
Supposedly the x86_64 ABI requires [u]intmax_t to be 64 bits.
Making [u]intmax_t would require coordination between the compiler
and the standard library, as well as among compilers that expect to
generate code passing values of those types to functions compiled
by other compilers.
