MIPS machines are biendian hence they can run both big endian kernels
e.g. Debian mips architecture, and little endian kernels e.g. Debian
mipsel architecture. Use predefined macros to distinguish them.
The PGI compiler appears to define "long long" as size 8 but does not
provide a feature macro for it. It does provide options for the
signedness of char (-Mschar, -Muchar) but does not define a feature
macro indicating the choice. The default is signed, at least on Linux.
The VS 7.0 header <yvals.h> included by most C++ system headers defines
the macro _LONGLONG as __int64. Teach ABI.h to ignore the definition in
this case because "long long" does not exist.
Provides header files that use preprocessor tests to detect and provide
information about the compiler and its target architecture. The headers
contain no configuration-time test results and thus may be installed
into an architecture-independent include directory. This makes them
suitable for use in the public interface of any package.
