Follow-up Comment #2, sr #110399 (project autoconf):

Although this is a feature request, isn't there a bug report buried in it too?
Karl reports:


./c-auto.h:164:22: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
#define int64_t long int


and ascribes this to 'gcc -std=gnu11'. However, 'long int foo;' is a perfectly
valid declaration in C11, just as it was in C99, and compiling with -std=gnu11
shouldn't affect whether such a declaration is accepted. So there must be
something else going on here.
