Please review that bug for more context and additional comments, but update this bug.

Original labels: Type-Defect, Priority-Medium

Original description

The string constructors and concat functions make assumptions about the size of built-in types like int and long. This is not portable to other architectures. Especially with Due coming up in the future, it would be wise to stay portable. Patch attached which fixes this.
