bug#8637: emacs-23 doesn't build on Ubuntu 11.04

[Paul Eggert]

The emacs-23 branch (and, I assume, Emacs 23) does not
build on Ubuntu 11.04 x86.  I'd like to install the following
fix.  Normally I don't mess with the emacs-23 branch so I'm
being cautious and filing this bug report rather than simply
installing it.

You're not the first one to report this.

Glenn has proposed to add 'i386' to cpp_undefs in configure.in instead,
see http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8520#8.
