With regard to the 

#if sizeof int < 32
#define int long
#else
#define int long /*?*/
#endif

I hope you have source code to _all_ your functions.  What happens
if something like printf is expecting an int (16 bit) for a "%d" ?
You end up putting more on the stack than you intended.
Putting more on the stack will only give you the right answer if
your longs are stored least sig. word first.  (little endian ?)
