Oh, no. len and cap are int in Go, so that problem doesn't arise,
and (I assume) uintptr isn't much used.

The int32 usage was things like this (an arbitrary choice):
void
runtime=C2=B7closure(int32 siz, byte *fn, byte *arg0)
{
      byte *p, *q, **ret;
      int32 i, n;
      int32 pcrel;

since this is runtime, the incoming siz might well need a specific
size to match a calling convention,
but locals i, n, and pcrel don't seem to be special.
