Changing them on an existing platform is not what's under discussion.
The question was just about whether a new (virtual) arch can use
[unsigned] long rather than [unsigned] int for these types without
making things difficult for musl. Of course the compiler's choice of
types has to match musl's, whichever definition is used.
