add configure checks for 64 bit types in sys/bitypes.h none

Description Tim Mooney 2001-11-10 04:01:26 AEDT 
OpenSSH 2.9p2 and later (including 3.0p1) have a configure that checks for 64
bit int types,
but it only checks sys/types.h and sys/socket.h.  Some platforms (e.g. Tru64
UNIX 5.x) have the
int64_t and u_int64_t prototypes elsewhere (e.g. sys/bitypes.h).

The patch I'll be attaching to this applies cleanly against 3.0p1 once you tell
it to use
configure.ac rather than configure.in.  The patch itself just adds sys/bitypes.h
to the list
of headers searched for the int64_t and u_int64_t prototypes.

One additional improvement that the patch does *not* address is adding
inttypes.h to the
list of headers that are searched for 64 bit prototypes.  I didn't do it because
I assumed
there must be some reason why it was left off the list (i.e. it causes problems
on some platforms?).
If that's not the case, I think it too should be added to the list of headers to
search for the
various prototypes.

I've addressed this bug (and several others) in modifications i'm in
the process of testing now. If all my machines build OK I'll commit in
the morning.
