 # This fixes a bug in Autoconf 2.60, but can be removed once we
 # assume 2.61 everywhere.
 
+# Note: If the type 'long long int' exists but is only 32 bits large
+# (as on some very old compilers), AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT will not be
+# defined. In this case you can treat 'long long int' like 'long int'.
