Summary: Configure fails with MinGW + GCC 4.4.0

Initial Comment:
With the following environment on a WinXP:
- ScummVM sources from SVN
- MinGW 5.1.4
- GCC 4.4.0 packed by MinGW folks

configure fails =>

$ ./configure 
Running ScummVM configure...
Looking for C++ compiler... g++
Checking for compiler version... 4.4.0, ok
Checking endianness... little
Type with 1 byte... char
Type with 2 bytes... couldn't find data type with 2 bytes

It seems that "int" type is not recognized as a 2 byte datatype but with gcc 3.4.5 compilation is ok.
