So, it may be the way that the internal autoconf check works for=20
cross-compiling violates an assumption about how that macro works.

The check is if this value is integral (which it clearly is not), but if th=
e=20
test completely fails to compile it treats that as "the compiler does not=
=20
support this type", which in this case is false.

Really, the "is this integral" check is probably optional on these types,=
=20
but if we want it to run it needs some changes for cross-compiling.

I'm trying to dig into the nature of the failure itself now.
