At long last I have been able to fix this. The polymake maintainers,
based on their experience with some unspecified Linux distributions,
not including Fedora but including Ubuntu, assumed that all 32-bit
perl builds include 64-bit native integers. However, Fedora's perl is
configured so that 32-bit perl has only 32-bit native integers. The
polymake maintainers expressed great surprise that Fedora is so
backward that we haven't heard about 64-bit native integers in 32-bit
perl yet. Nonetheless, once the problem was identified, they helped
me fix it and promised to add a test for this problem to their test
suite to prevent its reappearance.
Might be worth filing a bug to track/document why we don't have the
64bit ints on 32 bit perl.
