#2337: Check for signed size_t during configure

 Our code breaks badly in a few places when size_t is signed. Apparently
 this can happen with an old gcc, and maybe even with a few other
 compilers. For now I think we should add a configure check, and only if it
 turns out that anyone important is actually affected make sure that we can
 handle it.
