from the gcc tests in hints/hpux.sh I once fiddled up this code:
echo 'int main(){long l;printf("%d\\n",sizeof(l));}'>try.c
$cc -o try $ccflags $ldflags try.c
if [ "`try`" = "8" ]; then
cat <<EOM >&4
*** This version of gcc uses 64 bit longs. -Duse64bitall is
*** implicitly set to enable continuation
EOM
use64bitall=$define
gcc_64native=yes
Might that be of any help?
