What was wrong with those inlines? Note that the commit removes LONG* to 
long* casts and causes warnings on clang msvc target.

They need to be defines, for instance libxml2 does this:

#ifdef InterlockedCompareExchangePointer
        InterlockedCompareExchangePointer((void **) &global_init_lock,
                                          cs, NULL);
#else /* Use older void* version */
        InterlockedCompareExchange((void **) &global_init_lock,
                                   (void *) cs, NULL);
#endif /* InterlockedCompareExchangePointer */

which will break on 64-bit. We could of course change only that one, but
they are all #defines in the MS headers.

I think that a better fix would be to use the correct types for LONG
etc. on PE targets.

That sounds indeed great for the final solution, those differences pop 
up every now and then.

It's a lot of changes (although Michael didn't run away when I mentioned 
such possibility at WineConf :) ) and a lot of warnings until then. 
Another possible intermediate solution would be having inlines paired 
with no-op macros like:

#define InterlockedCompareExchangePointer InterlockedCompareExchangePointer

Thanks,
