Thanks for the quick review - I thought however
it was kind of a "standard" workaround for this issue
having seen this elsewhere in the same file - given this is used
in multiple places/

Fair point  - done.

I tested x86_64-linux-gnu with a bootstrap and that showed identical
auto-host.h to the previous run and thus that appeared to be fine.
(This is a target that uses the default '@') .. On ARM I've done a
full bootstrap and auto-host.h shows the appropriate macro defined (
and it does with this version of the patch as well). Are there any
other targets you'd suggest ?

Assuming all tests pass is this version better ?

       * config.gcc (target_type_format_char): New. Document it. Set it for
         arm*-*-* .
       * configure.ac (gnu_unique_option): Use target_type_format_char in test.
         Comment rationale.
       * configure: Regenerate .

Looks OK to me.
