I think it's my fault, actually --- I don't remember how much of
that patch was yours.

Only on 32-bit-long machines, which are a dwindling minority (except
for Windows, which I don't really care about).

I suppose we could put pg_strtouint64 somewhere where pgbench can use it,
but TBH I don't think it's worth the trouble. The set of people using
the --random-seed=int option at all is darn near empty, I suspect,
and the documentation only says you can write an int there.
