You would think so. But the code was actually wrong (not terribly,
but the references I changed were unsigned so size_t would be fine),
and sending a patch out for ./configure is, shall we say, problematic :-).
Also, someone has added this test to the main branch, but it's very odd:
pushdef([AC_DEFINE_SAVED],defn([AC_DEFINE]))
pushdef([AC_DEFINE],[AC_DEFINE_SAVED([$1],[$2],[Define to $2 if $1 is not defined])])
AC_CHECK_TYPE(ssize_t, int)
popdef([AC_DEFINE])
popdef([AC_DEFINE_SAVED])
Why is all that pushdef/popdef stuff in there?
