Hello Steven, Thanks for the report.

Well, the fact that the compiler failed the AC_HEADER_STDBOOL test is a feature not a bug: Autoconf found out that this compiler does not have a C99 conforming stdbool. It might be good enough for your purposes, but this macro is a rather all-or-nothing thing, so tries to expose all kinds of quirks. It would be more interesting to see why gnulib's stdbool.h can't cope. Please write to bug-gnulib if it doesn't look like an Autoconf bug there. Thanks, Ralf
