I was just wondering what version of Solaris James is running. I am
running Solaris 10 on an i386 box and I get

Checking for header stdbool.h                                : yes 
Checking for bool                                            : ok 
Checking if size of bool == 1                                : ok 

This is with both the Solaris C compiler and the GNU C compiler.
There are a lot of problems building on Solaris 10, but this does not
seem to be one of them.

I keep running Solaris 10 because the machine is an important file server
and taking it down to to an upgrade would be a major problem. Right now I
can build Samba 4.2.0, so I do not have to upgrade now.
