does gcc handle a 64-bit int in 2.03?  if so, what type is it called?

I was hoping to see if I could rewrite the existing biosdisk library 
with the new int13h extensions (as of 1995).
http://www.phoenix.com/NR/rdonlyres/9BEDED98-6B3F-4DAC-BBB7-FA89FA5C30F0/0/specsedd11.pdf
contains a reference to these, which refer to LBA methods of accessing 
the disk as well as chs, but using subfunctions 41-4e, and there is an 
eject media check function in int 15h.  similar documents exist.

biosdisk.c contains code that is now out of date for modern sized disks.
