I'd say, this is expected output from configure. Configure is just a mechanism
to help constructing an abstraction for different types of OS (i.e. things
like "can we use this C type? Do we need to use another type instead?").

The "smallint", "integer" and "bigint" types are available regardless of that
output from configure.
