Description:
------------
When trying to run ./configure the script fails with:


checking size of char... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (char)

An identical configure strings works on this system with 5.4.12


Test script:
---------------
./configure --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --cache-file=../config.cache --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d --disable-debug --with-pic --disable-rpath --with-bz2 --with-curl --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --enable-gd-native-ttf --without-gdbm --with-gettext --with-gmp --with-iconv --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-openssl --with-pspell --with-pcre-regex=/usr --with-zlib --with-layout=GNU --enable-exif --enable-ftp --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-sysvmsg --enable-wddx --with-pear=/usr/share/pear --with-kerberos --with-unixODBC=/usr --enable-shmop --enable-calendar --with-libxml-dir=/usr/lib --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs  --with-mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/lib64/mysql/mysql_config --with-pdo-mysql --with-gd --with-pdo-odbc=unixODBC,/usr --disable-dba --with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds --enable-mbstring --enable-soap --with-xmlrpc --with-libxml-dir=/usr/include/libxml2 --with-ldap --with-pdo-dblib=/usr/local/freetds --enable-zip --with-mhash --with-mcrypt --with-libdir=lib64

Expected result:
----------------
Configure completes. 

Actual result:
--------------
Configure does not complete and errors.

I got a similar message: ... cannot compute sizeof (long int).
Obviously embedding of FreeTDS has changed somehow, because config.log shows that -lsybdb could not be resolved.
I added a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/freetds containing /usr/local/lib64 and ran ldconfig after installing FreeTDS and then my problem disappeared.
