AC_CHECK_SIZEOF failing on undefined HAVE_STDINT_H with -Werror |

Hi autoconf-ers,
I'm having a problem configuring a project using -Werror because
tests for AC_CHECK_SIZEOF() all die in the following manner (excerpt of
config.log):
(These tests fail on FreeBSD 4.3 which doesn't have <stdint.h>.
The AC_CHECK_HEADERS([stdint.h]) confirms this during configure.)

This error only started occurring to me after upgrading to autoconf-2.60,
but I don't have 2.59 handy anymore to confirm whether or not this is a
regression. (This never used to be a problem.) In any case, correct me
if I'm wrong, but to me it seems like the recipe for fixing this would be
to rewrite the #include part of conftest.c as:
| #ifdef HAVE_STDINT_H
| # include <stdint.h>
| #endif
After all, isn't this the convention used in producing "config.h"
and using it for conditional #includes?
The temporary workaround is to pass an additional -Wno-undef to
CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, so this isn't the end of the world, just a slight
annoyance. I do want to make sure this particular project is "-ansi
-pedantic-errors -W -Wall -Werror"-clean, which includes rejecting
non-standard types such as 'long long'. Of course, I'm aware that such
strict flags may affect the outcome of various configure tests in
unexpected ways... I try to be cautious.
Thanks in advance.
