[Cbc] Cbc build fails whwn cross-compiled for 64 bit Windows

[Kish Shen]

Hi John,

Thanks. I had meant to post further comments on this, as I had a further 
instance of the same problem, this time with Clp, when compiled with UFL 
AMD.

The problem here seems unavoidable -- UFL AMD is written in C, and for 
Win64, long long is the only standard C integer type that is word sized
(and I think long long is in the C standard). In compiling with UFL AMD, 
amd.h is included in the Clp code, and the compile fails because of the 
pedantic-errors flag. I got around the problem by removing the flag from 
compile, but is there a better way to get around this?

Cheers,

Kish
