I'm not trying to eliminate the warnings when compiling LLVM -- I'm 
trying to eliminate the warnings in applications _using_ LLVM which 
might be (as in our case) using the 64-bit portability mode. So I only 
want to patch some very commonly included header files in order to 
compile our application cleanly. I am absolutely not suggesting to 
banish "long" from the code.
