Can I ask why the 64 bit constant isn't 0xd00de123deadbeef , which would make
bits 0-31 the same for both architectures, which might simplify the problem.

#define MY_MAGIC 0xd00de123deadbeefLL

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        printf("0x%08x\n", MY_MAGIC);
}

outputs 0xdeadbeef on 32 bit architectures, so it IS truncating the top 32
bits.

I know this doesn't solve the broader problem of detecting word length, but,
it might solve your immediate problem.
