multiple file processing doesn't work on sparc64

[Jan Oravec]

Hello,


'numfiles' is defined as 'long' in main.c and in awkgram it is defined as
'extern int'. While 'int' is 32-bit and 'long' is 64-bit on 64-bit
architectures and byte ordering is big endian on sparc architectures, the
result is that one cannot specify multiple '-f' flags when gawk is compiled
on sparc64 in 64-bit user space.

I am not on the list, please keep me in CC:.
