Description
To not have two branches of gcc.
I'm not sure how to do this yet. Two ideas:
- Apply a patch in a CI workflow.
- Perhaps we can use
-m32?

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reviewing the CI workflow that currently maintains two GCC branches and identify why 128-bit integer support requires them. Compare the proposed approaches: applying a patch in the workflow or using -m32. Done means the CI no longer needs two GCC branches while continuing to validate 128-bit integer support.
