You will need to override the configure step for figuring out things via
compilation and running.

You will need to look at the configure script and see if you can
override the sizeof char.  (Similarly to how you overrode
ac_cv_func_setvbuf_reversed on the command line.)

If that is not possible, you will have to hack "configure" with the hard
coded value.  (To do it "right" you should modify configure.in, then run
autoconf.  However, that doesn't always work.)

Also, that particular problem is solved by newer versions
of autoconf, so in the best of all possible worlds, you
just need to have autoconf-2.53 or later installed,
and type
  autoconf
before running configure.   That only works sometimes, though,
since configure.in sometimes needs to be fixed a little bit to
work with the new autoconf.
