Thinking about it some more, I think part of the solution has to be making
euphoria build on a 64-bit architecture.  There's not even a way for 
euphoria to hold a 64-bit number in a primitive data type.  An atom only 
holds a double, which is itself 64 bits, but not all bits are devoted to
the mantissa.

I suppose your best bet is to see if you can get (or figure out the flags)
to get gcc to cross compile to 32-bit.
