Hi Paul,

Such precautions are not needed, because
  - gnulib for sure will not be ported to architectures where no
    8-bit integer type exists.
  - Whether C99 requires it or not, does not matter here: The 'glob'
    module depends on 'stdint', and the 'stdint' module provides
    uint8_t unconditionally (for several years already).
