What are LONG_BIT and SIZEOF_LONG on these platforms?  
It doesn't matter whether gcc is being used, if LONG_BIT is 
defined incorrectly for the platform, then it's defined 
incorrectly period.

Read the comment you quoted to see why it doesn't matter 
whether Python "compiles fine" if you disable this.  It's 
guarding against runtime errors in Python's intobject.c, which 
needs a correct value for LONG_BIT.  Presumably LONG_BIT 
should be 64 on these boxes, and SIZEOF_LONG should be 8.
