Found the problem.
The autoconf 2.66 release announcement http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autotools-announce/2010-07/msg00000.html includes:
** The macros AC_TYPE_INT8_T, AC_TYPE_INT16_T, AC_TYPE_INT32_T, and AC_TYPE_INT64_T work again. Regression introduced in 2.65.
So is this a reason to hold back this patch?
I...don't think so. My thinking went: 1. It broke harmlessly. 2. But maybe it would break seriously for someone else. 3. But if we'd made the change before 2.65 came out, would we do anything about it, or would we say "Well, that's too bad for autoconf-2.65"? No doubt the latter unless we knew of real breakage.
So is it OK to push? Does anyone else have comments?
I like the change and we are at autoconf-2.68 now - but I don't feel very competent in this area. Cheers, Johannes
