And, by the way, the message above is hardcoded into CLN. Does this mean that CLN (and thus GiNaC) does not support 64 bits architectures?

Sure it does support 64 bit architectures. I have personally used it on Alpha and IA-64.

Note that type int is just 32 Bits on those architectures, anyways. If you are interested in more details, please consult the header file cln/object.h where the line between fixnums and bignums is drawn.

You are right, of course. I had misinterpreted the CLN sources. Thanks
