That is not portable, unfortunately. It doesn't exist in all compilers, and/or all architectures.
So it's useful to prototype things, but it's not something we can use, because we need this in
core code (DWARF expression evaluation).
We may end up with something like a typedef that maps to int128_t when available,
and to a C++ class emulation when not available, though.
