That's approximately what's happening. Formerly it insisted on doing a
run check to detect the int64 type. Now it does a compile check when
cross-compiling.

For the snprintf format detection we obviously don't have that chance. I
just refactored the code a little and added a cache variable so the
advanced cross-compiling user can override the check with known values.
