Those problems were addressed and both configurations are known to work.
For example 32-bit perl I use by default on Linux is *not* compiled with
64-bit integers, while 32-bit perl I have on Solaris is. No problem with
either. It appears to me that problem is likely to occur at sign
extension when processing effective addresses. To demonstrate this with
one-liner:

perl -e 'use integer; printf "%d\n",0xffffffff<<32>>32'

It should print -1 in either combination of bitnesses.
