I think you'll also need

    make_transparent_unions(32)
    #define U_32   int32
    #define Uv_32  int32

My guess is it should work, at least on 64-bit platforms.

I'm not sure that 32-bit CPUs generally provide 64-bit atomic operations. If
not (which seems likely, really), you'll need to come up with something to
handle this case. Note that the my_atomic stuff has the possibility to
fallback to mutex locking when support is not available, so one way might be
to make it use this fallback on 32-bit (taking a performance penalty, but
32-bit is getting less and less interesting by the day anyway).
