O.K.  That did the trick.  The config.h file now looks like this:

/* #define SIZEOF_SHORT 2 */
/* #define SIZEOF_INT 4 */
/* #define SIZEOF_LONG 4 */
/* #define SIZEOF_FLOAT 4 */
/* #define SIZEOF_DOUBLE 8 */
#define SIZEOF_LONG_DOUBLE 16
#define SIZEOF_PY_INTPTR_T 4
/* #define SIZEOF_LONG_LONG 8 */
#define SIZEOF_PY_LONG_LONG 8
/* #define CHAR_BIT 8 */
#define MATHLIB m
#define HAVE_INVERSE_HYPERBOLIC_FLOAT

All we need now is a setup.py file that can generate this automatically.

Thanks,
Chris
