Something's gone wrong with autoconf:  that should be substituted into
configure.in from aczsh.m4.  It has been in mine.  Oh, but I didn't send
the patch for aczsh.m4.  Here it is.

Status 0 is a `yes', so if sizeof(long) < 8 it returns 1.  That makes it
consistent with a failure to compile, which would also give status 1.

+dnl   Check whether the first argument works as a 64-bit type.
+dnl   If there is a non-zero second argument, we just assume it works
+dnl   when we're cross compiling.  This is to allow a type to be
+dnl   specified directly as --enable-lfs="long long".
+dnl   Sets zsh_cv_64_bit_type to the first argument if the test worked,
