In general, that shouldn't matter.
As long as "long" is *at least* 32 bits, then the code should work.

However, there are sometimes places where the code assumes
(wrongly) that "long" is exactly 32 bits.    We've fixed a number of
these, but there could be others waiting to bite you.

The first this I'd suggest would be to work with the 5.4.1 (or 5.4.2.pre1)
code base.   That's probably got a lot more of the 32/64-bit fixes than
the 5.3.1 code.   Or if you need to stick with the 5.3.x line, then
try using with 5.3.2 instead.
