   You can change the sizes of the various areas used in the default
   image `gforth.fi' by passing the appropriate Gforth command line
   options in the FORTHSIZES environment variable:
   
   env "FORTHSIZES=--dictionary-size=256k --data-stack-size=16k --fp-stack-size=16k --return-stack-size=16k --locals-stack-size=16k" ./configure
   
   The line above reaffirms the default sizes. Note that the locals
   stack area is also used as input buffer stack.
   
   If C's "long long" do not work properly on your machine (i.e., if the
   tests involving double-cell numbers fail), you can build Gforth such
   that it does not use "long long":
   
   env ac_cv_sizeof_long_long=0 ./configure
   
   
                           Cross-Configuration
   
   A few tests made by the configure script do not work in a
   cross-compilation situation. You have to provide the results of these
   tests by hand. E.g., if you compile for a 386 architecture processor:
   
   env ac_cv_sizeof_char_p=4 ac_cv_sizeof_short=2 ac_cv_sizeof_int=4 ac_cv_sizeof_long=4 ac_cv_sizeof_long_long=8 ac_cv_c_bigendian=no ./configure
   
   The ac_cv_sizeof_... variables give the sizes of various C types;
   ac_cv_sizeof_char_p is the same as "sizeof(char*)" in C code. The
   ac_cv_c_bigendian variable gives the byte order.

   If the addresses changes by only a small amount (e.g. by one or two
   pages), you can fix it by defining FUZZ (in config.h) to a number at
   least two times the changes you observe (0x4000 is a good idea, this
   is four 4k pages) and recompile. We do this for the DJGPP port for
   DOS, because the start address there changes by one or two pages, and
   it helps us to keep the DOS people happy without investing too much
   work in a braindead environment.
