Was |int| always thought to be 32bit ?

Actually, if you look at how Xlib stubs are put together, you see the
use of bitfields (the "B16, B32" macros).

There was a Cray, now mercifully retired, I believe, on which
sizeof(short)=sizeof(int)=sizeof(long)=sizeof(pointer) == 64 bits.

You got only two native datatype sizes: 8 and 64 bits.

I don't know that that case is worth worrying about any more, though
with Xcb going to machine generated stubs, causing similar code
generation should be simple.
