    Description

      With released 0.7.0, on Freebsd 8.2:
      $ ./configure
      ...
      checking for int16_t... no
      checking for int32_t... no
      checking for int64_t... no
      checking for int8_t... no

      When they are obviously available (uint32_t is found...).

      There is a nasty regression in autoconf 2.65. Many distribution carry a patch for the fix (on Debian, autoconf-2.65-3 I believe). The upstream fix is:
      http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/autoconf.git/commit/?id=83ee5bc4

      Not sure what exact version/build of autoconf-2.65 is used to generate the tarball, but please upgrade.

      A workaround is to make sure you have a recent enough version of autoconf and run:
      $ autoconf
      $ ./configure

      Thanks.
