econf_build is not widely used, and you only added it to Python in June. It's
been used in other packages for much longer, but Python explicitly checks that
the size of a long is what it expects. I didn't see it with m68k because we
don't have any overrides for that. You also might not see it going from amd64
to arm64 either with them both being 64-bit. The lack of m68k overrides makes
me wonder if some of these are even needed any more. ac_cv_sizeof_* can
seemingly be determined when cross-compiling now.

Since we've already had some reports of success, I'm merging this now.
