I would think that using a configure script check would be problematic
for Mac OS X Universal Binary builds.  A configure script check is run
only once, correct?  So if one builds 4-way universal (ppc, ppc64, i386,
x86_64) the check will give wrong results for some architectures.  In my
experience, using configure-time tests is highly problematic for cross
compiling.

Can freetype use C99 features?  In C99 there are exact-width integer
types like int64_t, uint32_t, etc.  See 'stdint.h'.

BTW, <bits/wordsize.h> does not seem to exist on Mac OS X.
