I have GNU autoconf version 2.52. Is AC_HEADER_STDBOOL a newer feature?
Does my patch have any disadvantages against AC_HEADER_STDBOOL? There will
surely be other installations that do not work together with this feature
and which work without it. Is the second part (defining HAVE__BOOL) also
handled by AC_HEADER_STDBOOL? If not, at least the test on _Bool itself
should be included.
