(Today's CVS) The simplest fix is to change the documentation to match the current behavior, so I installed the following. If there's a good reason to change the behavior instead, please let us know. Traditions seem to vary in this area in Autoconf. Among Autoconf-using programs, I suspect gnulib's stdint module makes this macro obsolescent anyway, so I'd rather not futz with it if I can avoid it. 2007-05-28 Paul Eggert <eggert@xxxxxxxxxxx> * doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Types): AC_TYPE_INT8_T does not define HAVE_INT8_T, and likewise for similar macros.
