Configure changes to nrpe to get it to build on Solaris 8

[Ethan Galstad]

Autoconf 2.13 doesn't seem to like this too much...

[nagios at lanman nrpe]# autoconf
autoconf: Undefined macros:
configure.in:42:m4_define([_AC_DEFINE_INTEGER_BITS_HELPER],
configure.in:46:  AC_CHECK_SIZEOF($2)
configure.in:51:  _AC_DEFINE_INTEGER_BITS_HELPER($1, m4_shift(m4_shift($@)))
configure.in:64:    _AC_DEFINE_INTEGER_BITS_HELPER($@)
