It will. A long is 64 bits on x86_64 (except with the broken M$ Win64 ABI,
which luckily is not a concern on Fedora).
Of course, nowadays (ISO C99), those programs are supposed to use ptrint_t
instead. But many programs are still stuck with C90, often also due to M$ which
still doesn't support C99 in the latest Visual Studio C compiler!
