It looks like github issue #642 was inadvertantly closed with this merger.  
It should be reopened.  The sample command line given in that issue:

    perl Configure.pl --intval="long long int" --opcode="long long int"

still fails to produce a working parrot on a system where 
sizeof(long long) > sizeof(void *).
