I was missing something, AFAICS: _AC_TYPE_INT_BODY (which is what Autoconf's AC_TYPE_INT64_T ends up calling) tries 'long int' before 'long long int' when matching types, but it also tries 'int64_t' as very first try. That means, when that is defined, there is no chance for conflict. Sorry for the noise, and thanks for checking, Ralf
