libquantum fails to cross build from source, because it uses
AC_RUN_IFELSE. In some situations, that macro is unavoidable. The use of
libquantum isn't, because it is evaluating a compile-time constant. We
can also check that using AC_CHECK_SIZEOF and AC_COMPUTE_INT, both of
which work during cross compilation. Please consider applying the
attached patch to avoid using AC_RUN_IFELSE at no cost in functionality.
