The hvmloader build on Alpine Linux x86_64 currenly fails:


hvmloader.c: In function 'init_vm86_tss':
hvmloader.c:202:39: error: left shift count >= width of type [-Werror=shift-count-overflow]
  202 |                   ((uint64_t)TSS_SIZE << 32) | virt_to_phys(tss));

util.c: In function 'get_cpu_mhz':
util.c:824:15: error: conversion from 'long long unsigned int' to 'uint64_t' {aka 'long unsigned int'} changes value from
'4294967296000000' to '0' [-Werror=overflow]
  824 |     cpu_khz = 1000000ull << 32;


The root cause of the issue is that gcc -m32 picks up headers meant for
64-bit builds.

The failures are currently causing problems to the xen-project
gitlab-ci pipeline.

This patch introduces code to detect this kind of errors in the
configure script, and disables with a warning the compilation of
hvmloader if problems are detected.

This patch also updates tools/configure. It has been done by calling
autoreconf -fi.

I'm fine with the approach now, but I'm rather uncertain about
the insertion point you've selected (in the middle of the
"Checks for programs" section). It'll need to be the tools
maintainers to judge about this.
