I realize I used FOSS improperly, I had no reason to single it out; my comment reads like a critique of open source which was not my intention.
My intention was to make a good case for old code being compiled today by third parties.
But to my understanding intmax_t was introduced in C99, before widespread dominance of 64 bits platforms. So it would not be surprising that there exists code with lower assumptions about its size.
But actually I made also another mistake, the major problem had little to do with faulty logic and more to do with dynamic linking [0]
I will see myself out today.
