That is NOT a gcc bug, but deliberate configure behavior.  Remember, not
ALL conftest compilation probes during configure failures are supposed
to compile - some are expected to fail.  Debugging configure failures
requires that you ALSO know whether the compilation failure is expected
(as in this case), by knowing additional context of WHY configure is
trying to compile the test code (here, to PROVE that ssize_t is an
actual type name, and not just a variable name that expands to an
expression rather than a type).
