Don't forget that quite a few MySQL data structure members are C long types
which are 64 bit on x86_64.

So if you want code to work on x86_64 as well as x86 it needs a type alias.

For example in st_net these members:

struct st_net
{
    Vio *vio;
    ubyte *buff;
    ubyte *buff_end;
    ubyte *write_pos;
    ubyte *read_pos;
    SOCKET fd;
    uint remain_in_buf;   <<<
    uint length;          <<<
    uint buf_length;      <<<
    uint where_b;         <<<
    uint max_packet;      <<<
    uint max_packet_size; <<<


are 32 bit on x86 and 64 bit on x86_64

Many other MySQL structures and quite a few function arguments have the same
issue.

Of course, not many people seem to be using the compiler for 64 bit code at the
moment.
