This speeds up HE-AACv2 encoding from 3.85 s to 3.42 s on a Core i7.

aac project forces the system not to include sys/types.h by defining
_SYS_TYPES_H_. This is a workaround for broken android toolchain.

This is no longer needed in latest android version and can be safely
removed. This will also lead to more errors if changes in bionic
headers are needed.

When the shift overflowed, asserts were triggered later, where
the values were assumed to be non-negative.

The library contains architecture specific versions of the clz functions
for arm and mips, but the fallback C version for other architectures is
pretty slow.

By using __builtin_clz on GCC (available since GCC 3.4), we get a
significant (20-40 %) speedup of the total running time on x86.

Speed difference: 5.1 s instead of 8.6 s for AAC-LC 128 kbit/s and
3.8 s instead of 4.9 s for HE-AACv2 32 kbit/s, on an i7.

When the addition overflowed, asserts were triggered later, where
the values were assumed to be non-negative.

Shifting by more than (or equal to) the variable length is
undefined in C.

This caused the quantized spectrum values to go out of range,
triggering asserts later.

These additions can overflow, triggering assertions later.

Mingw32 doesn't define the __int64 types.

By default automake thinks the project is part of GNU and enforces the
presence of some files. By declaring the project foreign, we can
remove the 0-sized files.

This simply means the comments are not copied into the executed
configure script.

Unless configure uses $host there is no reason to call it directly.

Mingw32 doesn't define the __int64 types.

While the source is C++, it doesn't use anything from the C++
runtime, so by building with -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti, the
dynamic library doesn't have to be linked to libstdc++. This
also simplifies things for users of the static library.

These correspond to different VBR modes.

This avoids name clashes with the similarly named files in
libSBRdec, when building all libraries with one single
automake file.
