+	* src/smooth/ftgrays.c: Fix compilation if `FT_LONG64` is undefined.
+
+	The code assumed that if `__SSE2__` is defined, then 64-bit integer
+	types are available.  This is not the case apparently for certain
+	multilib compiler targets like 'x86_32.x86' used by Gentoo.
+
+	This patch fixes the issue by disabling the special code path when
+	64-bit integer types are not available.
+
+	Fixes #1071.
