whirlpool.c requires u64 type
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Other modules (e.g. scrypt.c, SHA512) are disabled if there is no way to use
u64. However, this is not done for whirlpool.

Given that there are no reports on this problem, it might be better to remove
the conditional use of some modules and always require an u64 type for building
Libgcrypt.

We should really do that for 1.7. SHA512 is important enough these days to
require a 64 bit type.

werner claimed this task.

We now require a 64 bit integer type for >= 1.7 (commit 897ccd2)
