Subject: [Bug regex/1281] support 64-bit hosts when regex code when used outside glibc

This is complete crap.

First, I'm not applying any patch which changes the ABI.  Whether a macro has to
be defined to do it or not.

Second, there is no reason to extend all these types.  4G of something (when
used as index) is quite enough.  We don't use _smaller_ types on 32-bit machines
because it would just make the code slower.

For your "64-bit port" you have to indentify the few places where more than 4G
(or 2G for signed values) really makes sense and not this senseless replacing of
types.
