Export Word32#, Word64# on all architectures
Currently we have no always-available fixed-width primitive types for 32- and 64-bit widths. For instance, if you want a 64-bit unsigned integer you need to use Word# on 64-bit targets and Word32# otherwise. This adds a fair bit of complexity in places which really should be simple (e.g. Data.Word). The same, of course, applies to Int#.
