Log message:
        This patch implements a `long double' suggestion by Oliver Kiddle.
        
        * lib/autoconf/c.m4 (AC_LANG_BOOL_COMPILE_TRY(C)): Make the array
        static, to catch errors if the value isn't known at compile-time
        and the compiler supports dynamic arrays.  Change its name from
        `_array_' to `test_array' to avoid potential name clashes.
        (AC_C_LONG_DOUBLE): Make it a compile-time test, not a run-time
        test.  Do not define HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE if `long double' is no
        better than double.  Catch a bug in GCC 2.95.2 x86.
        * doc/autoconf.texi (C Compiler): Document the above.
        * NEWS: Likewise.
