Research direction
Start by reading the workaround in src/int.rs at lines 574-577 and trace how 128-bit integers are currently created through libgccjit. Confirm the expected libgccjit behavior and identify what the issue requires beyond the workaround. Done means 128-bit integer creation works without that workaround, with relevant tests passing.
