I don't think there's any way to _conditionally_ include a block of
code in the generated config.h. If the test can be restructured into
an appropriate form, you could do something like this:
if test $ac_cv_whatever = yes; then
AC_DEFINE([TYPESIZES_C8_S16_I32]
fi
AH_VERBATIM([TYPESIZES_B8_S16_I32_COND],
[#ifdef TYPESIZES_C8_S16_I32_COND
typedef unsigned char byte;
typedef unsigned short word16;
typedef unsigned int word32;
#endif
])
Also, AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED may be useful.
