Re: [Bug-gnulib] FYI: use of bool provokes HP ia64 /bin/cc compiler bug?

[Paul Eggert]

I installed the following patch to gnulib stdbool.m4 to reflect the
recent Autoconf patch, and fix one minor typo.

2004-05-31  Paul Eggert  <address@hidden>

        * stdbool.m4 (AC_HEADER_STDBOOL): Detect _Bool bug in HP aC++/ANSI
        C B3910B A.05.55 [Dec 04 2003].  Problem reported by Jim Meyering.
        Also, fix a typo in a diagnostic.
