As pointed out here
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2010-01/msg00145.php
the current zic code doesn't cope gracefully with lack of working
int64.  Considering the trouble we've gone to throughout the rest
of the system to support such compilers, it's a bit annoying to
have this little detail break it.  On the other hand, it's unclear
that anybody still cares.  (Other than people running SCO Openserver,
for whom I have little sympathy anyway.)

Thoughts?  Is it worth expending any energy on?
        regards, tom lane
