Ehm ... Exactly this is the problem. The type *should* be set if compiled in
32 bits environment and should *not* be set if compiled in 64 bit
environment. Sigh ... It means, that it is not even possible to check for
host type as returned by autoconf.

It is very very bad, that some systems are too generous. Probably, I will
end up with

  mips-sni-sysv4)
     check for correct type
  ;;

I will think it over.

I am all for it. Any objection?
