Your system is apparently not yet supported for 8 byte integers. If you
want netbsd to be supported, you need to figure out if you have support
for those in your compiler (gcc seems to have it across several
processors) and you need i/o support for them in printf/scanf.

configure tries to detect these automatically so look at what configure
tries to do and see why it missed for your system.

Configure does check (and passes), but doesn't seem to record anything
about the int8 tests. As a result, config.h (and hence int8.h) knows
nothing about the results of the configure test. The patches below
get configure to record the tests in config.h. With these patches (to
last night's snapshot) the int8 regression test passes on netbsd
1.3.2/i386. I'm actually surprised they work without these patches
for anyone, really.

Cheers,
Brook
