Can you please send us the resulting `config.log' file?

Also, can you try compiling the code below:

  typedef char ac__type_sizeof_;
  int
  main ()
  {
    static int test_array [1 - 2 * !(((long int) (sizeof (ac__type_sizeof_))) <= $ac_mid)];
    test_array [0] = 0;
    return 0;
  }

Just run "gcc -c the-file.c".

Thanks in advance,
Ludovic.
