Better yet is a configure check that compiler can cast long long to int. As
long as you are the only person who can reproduce it - would you mind to write
a patch? Or at least would you take time to check if it works?

The relevant part is zsh_64_BIT_TYPE macro in aczsh.m4. Currently it just
checks that sizeof(long long) == 8; it is trivial to add one more check if it
can cast value to int.
