Found it. The CPython devs removed the "HAVE_LONG_LONG" macro because "long
long" support has been required since CPython 2.7/3.3. This causes our code
that uses PY_LONG_LONG to be discarded rather than enabled.

I asked them to restore the macro definition. I also made Cython define it
if it's not.
