Version: 24.2

OK, I applied the configure version to the emacs-24 branch marked "do
not merge to trunk". It should be academic anyway since at the moment it
does not look like 24.2 will come from there (effectively).

Emacs 24.1 fails to build on an amd64 system with x32 ABI [1][2].
During compilation, about 20000 warnings like:

   warning: left shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]
   warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default]

occur, and finally the build process aborts with a segmentation fault:

   if test "no" = "yes"; then \
     ln -f temacs bootstrap-emacs; \
   else \
     `/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap || exit 1; \
     test "X" = X ||  -zex emacs; \
     mv -f emacs bootstrap-emacs; \
   fi
   /bin/sh: line 6: 27446 Segmentation fault      `/bin/pwd`/temacs --batch --load loadup bootstrap
   make[1]: *** [bootstrap-emacs] Error 1
   make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/emacs-24.1/work/emacs-24.1/src'
   make: *** [src] Error 2

See [3] for the full build log.

I've attached a one line patch that fixes the problem for me.
AFAICS, Emacs from BZR is not affected.

(Sorry about the bad timing, but x32 support in Gentoo is just
available since a few days.)
