Both are required to avoid the rendering corruptions seen with large gradients.

Yes, I had those improvements in mind. If they were made to compile on
32bit, they would be sufficient. However, they might become redundant
if 1 is implemented (though probably in reality the internal real type
should be specified at compile time, so both integer and
floating-point versions of Pixman could be built from the same
source).
