ffi: almost bug: 64 bit signed big/little endian type.
* ffi.c (ffi_be_i64_get, ffi_le_i64_get): The code here for 32
bit platforms is fishy: it is using the signed cnum type for
the low 32 bits, when that should be ucnum. We are actually
okay because ths code would only be executed on a platform
where cnum is 32 bits. We are saved by the fact that we are
doing left shifts (no sign extension), that shifting a 1 into
a sign bit is harmless on two's complement machines, and that
the lo32 value is ultimately passed to unum whereby it is
coerced to a ucnum argument type (which preserves the bit
representation) and prevents logior from seeing a negative
value.
