+
+	* gnulib/stdint.in.h: Make sure all types defined with a macro are
+	mapped to a typedef, not to a compiler type.  This fixes a
+	compilation failure were boost/cstdint.hpp would use "::int8_t"
+	and the compiler will see "::signed char".
+
 2008-11-17  Vivien Delmon  <address@hidden>
 
 	Release 1.2.94.
