I'm a bit without context here. What exactly are you compiling, what
is the exact error message, and why are you posting it to the
libstdc++ list?

You are right that there are is no builtin boolean type in the gcc C
front-end, unless you explicitly include <stdbool.h> (which was
introduced by C99).
