segfaults on 64-bit windows

[digama0]

I don't have a windows machine, but the cross compile for 64-bit windows on my machine looks like this:

$ cd build
$ make clean
$ make CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
$ wine src/metamath.exe
0024:err:file:init_redirects /home/mario/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows: No such file or directory

*** BUG #1501
Metamath - Version 0.199.pre 29-Jan-2022      wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0000000000000000 at address 00000001C8DFD2B0 (thread 0040), starting debugger...
0040:err:seh:start_debugger Couldn't start debugger L"winedbg --auto 60 60" (2)
Read the Wine Developers Guide on how to set up winedbg or another debugger

Most of the wine errors are harmless, but metamath immediately gives BUG #1501 and then dereferences null shortly afterward. The 32-bit windows build works properly.

I believe the reason is because metamath-exe uses long as an equivalent to size_t, ptrdiff_t and the like, but in 64-bit windows long is 4 bytes while pointers and allocation sizes are 8 bytes, so there is a lot of invalid casting going around.

Thank you for noting this issue. Compiling with clang m*.c -o ../bin/metamath.exe -O3 -funroll-loops -finline-functions -fomit-frame-pointer -m32 (note the -m32) works on my machine.
