That appears to be correct.  I consider that an oversight on the WG's part.
Chibi actually supports this, and I would urge you to support it too.

I'm glad to hear about this!  I downloaded and built it with VC++ 2010.
I note that even on my Win64 system it is a Win32 program, or at least
claims to be.

Hiding the problem behind a stub library is probably the best work-around.

I would recommend that you grab the (chibi test) library and rewrite
your tests using it.  It's quite portable, and I intend to propose it
for the large language.
