+Platform-specific notes
+
+ On some Tru64 systems using the native C99 compiler, the configure
+ script may reject the compiler as non-C99 compiler. This may happen
+ if there is no stdbool.h available. You can still compile XZ Utils
+ on such a system by passing ac_cv_prog_cc_c99= to configure script.
+ Fixing this bug seems to be non-trivial since if the configure
+ doesn't check for stdbool.h, it runs into problems at least on
+ Solaris.
