m68k is big endian, and in Debian GNU/Linux, it is:
ivtype='long long';

sizeof(long long) is 8 as usual (with an alignment requirement of 2,
which is unusually lax but permitted).

Thanks for these quick responses!

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much
*much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of
ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
