More precisely, the OpenMPI installation that provides this mpi.h file
was compiled with 'long long' support, which quite undoubtedly is a
feature rather than a bug. Users should not compile their code with
strict C89 settings.

Yes.

No, that would not help: int64_t is C99, so it should not be declared
either in C89 mode. Also, the int64_t is required to have 64 bits, and
could thus theoretically be smaller than 'long long' (no, I don't think
any such systems exist today).
