Summary: Arrange 64bits detection for ReliantUnix

Initial Comment:
When compiling python on ReliantUnix (5.43) the
compilation fails with unresolved externals like
fstatvfs64, lseek64 etc
Those routines belong to 5.45. The patch detects the
missing lseek64() and suppress lfs support (use_lfs=no).

Checking for Sinix  is  need because the SINIX unistd.h
redefines
lseek() into lseek64() when LFS is required (via
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS and/or _LFS64_LARGEFILE).
Checking for LFS via AC_TRY_LINK for most platforms means
more tests.

Hmm. Why are you checking for Sinix at all? If the test
fails, isn't it likely that LFS doesn't work on the platform?

Oops... That is better to check for SINIX-* before trying
the link.

I have more to submit because the dynamic linking needs
additional libc. For example in setup.py
+++
exts.append( Extension('_hotshot', ['_hotshot.c'],
libraries=['c']) )

Why do you check for SINIX after the link test fails?
