patch to buildtools/wafsamba/samba_autoconf.py

Hi,

I have just compiled samba-4.4.5 on an AIX 6.1 computer and found that it has a problem detecting the size of 'utmp.ut_line' (struct 'utmp' is defined in header '/usr/include/utmp.h').

This field is 32 bytes long in linux, but 64 bytes long in AIX.

A generic rutin called 'CHECK_SIZEOF' (in 'buildtools/wafsamba/samba_autoconf.py') is called to find out this size; the problem is it has a fixed list of possible values: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

So I'd like to ask you to add value 64 to this list, according to the attached patch.

Yours: Lorinczy Zsigmond
