I could be persuaded otherwise with an example of a program for which
changing __s64 from 'long long' to 'long' would break *binary* backward
compatibility, or similarly for __u64.

C++ could break.

That's too hypothetical to be actionable.  I would like to see a _specific program_, and I would like it to be one that already exists in the world and was not written as a test case for this hypothetical ABI break.
