Cray J90 fixes for long ints.
This was a convenient excuse to create the pyport.h file recently
discussed!
Please use new Py_ARITHMETIC_RIGHT_SHIFT when right-shifting a
signed int and you *need* sign-extension. This is #define'd in
pyport.h, keying off new config symbol SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS.
If you're running on a platform that needs that symbol #define'd,
the std tests never would have worked for you (in particular,
at least test_long would have failed).
The autoconfig stuff got added to Python after my Unix days, so
I don't know how that works. Would someone please look into doing
& testing an auto-config of the SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS
symbol? It needs to be defined if & only if, e.g., (-1) >> 3 is
not -1.

+ * C doesn't define whether a right-shift of a signed integer sign-extends
+ * or zero-fills. Here a macro to force sign extension:
+ * Py_ARITHMETIC_RIGHT_SHIFT(TYPE, I, J)
+ * Return I >> J, forcing sign extension.
+ * Requirements:
+ * I is of basic signed type TYPE (char, short, int, long, or long long).
+ * TYPE is one of char, short, int, long, or long long, although long long
+ * must not be used except on platforms that support it.
+ * J is an integer >= 0 and strictly less than the number of bits in TYPE
+ * (because C doesn't define what happens for J outside that range either).
+ * Caution:
+ * I may be evaluated more than once.
