[LLVMdev] 64 bit shifts on 32 bit machines

[Daniel M Gessel]

Well, I ended up with subroutines in my target language (there's a  
post-optimizer that's likely to inline them anyway, but it knows the  
size of the code cache, so it can make an intelligent choice).

But it would still be nice to use common, tested code (I'm still  
debugging my routines :)
