Depends:

$ uname -a
Darwin Old-MBA.local 14.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 14.5.0: Sun Sep 25 22:07:15 PDT 2016; root:xnu-2782.50.9~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
$ cat size.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	printf("sz(int) = %lu, sz(long) = %lu\n",
		(unsigned long)sizeof(int),
		(unsigned long)sizeof(long));
	return 0;
}

$ cc -o size size.c
$ ./size
sz(int) = 4, sz(long) = 8
$ file size
size: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
$ cc -m32 -o size size.c
$ ./size
sz(int) = 4, sz(long) = 4
$ file size
size: Mach-O executable i386

As I recall the same applies on linux for amd64, with the size of
logn changing depending upon if one compiles as x86 or amd64.

ILP32 vs LP64
