That does change the formal types of things exported to userland, and hence technically breaks the ABI, which is why I am cautious about this idea. Whether or not that causes real problems in practice I'm not sure, but I would want to at least check with the glibc developers first. One solution to might be to use an #ifdef __KERNEL__ so that userland still sees the long types but kernel code sees long longs.
