Please don't use this – version 4.2 is too recent.  Instead, you
should use code similar to

  variable := $(shell $(CAT) $(FILE))

(cf. file `builds/toplevel.mk'), where $(CAT) is either `cat' on UNIX
or `type' on Windows and DOS.

Theoretically yes.  However, relying on `FT_CHAR_BIT' is not as
reliable as using the `SIZEOF_INT' and `SIZEOF_LONG' autoconf tests.
