good call.  i missed that.  short answer: drop my proposed patch.

seems gcc-4.7 barfs on the configure test code.  this would be something to 
bring up with the autoconf or gcc guys though.

configure:5302: checking for stdbool.h that conforms to C99
configure:5387: gcc-4.7.0-alpha20111126 -mx32 -c -O0 -g -ggdb -pipe  conftest.c
conftest.c:84:3: error: initializer element is not constant

and the comment in the conftest.c code specifically calls out known bugs in 
past gcc :) ...
