does that mean that AIX/HP-UX/Solaris users with their vendor's
compilers will get stuck on this point?

As far as I can see there is no 128bit integer in HP-UX 11.31. According 
to stdint.h(5) there is
   intmax_t              largest signed integer data type supported
                                  by implementation
which appears to be set to int64_t which boils down to
   #define INT64_MAX INT64_C(9223372036854775807)


Will it be safe to just change occurences of 128 to 64 in bignum.c
without breakting anything somewhere else?

Regards,
Volker
