Comment:

 The problem is really in the Perl headers - essentially they do this (or
 with int instead of char) unless __GNUG__ is defined:

 {{{
 #!c
 #define bool char
 }}}

 Really that would be better done for any modern C++ compiler, but that's
 not a totally safe change for them if they want to support older pre-
 standard compilers which didn't have bool.

 Anyway, we can define HAS_BOOL to stop this being done in the Perl
 headers.  Can you try the attached patch?
